I think I posted about this uke a couple of years ago when I got it. I haven’t played it at all so I think it should go to a better home. I guess it’s from the ‘30s , it has a 16 1/2” scale. Sometime in the distant past the back has shrunk very slightly and been reglued , but there has been no movement in the years I have had it. £125 collected from Cambridge Another £20 or so p/p Will post more photos if anyone is interested

To complete matters I am about to do a deal with Bonzo over an amp. So he has claimed first refusal. I will be doing the deal in a couple of weeks so it might appear again if he doesn’t want it . Pete
Bonzo will have to promise NOT to refinish it!

Wots wrong with a gold duco archtop uke? This is actually quite a rare piece. Made in Germany by the same people that built those resonator guitars with the fish coverplate. I am sure that as well as its beautiful looks, that it sounds sweet too. Just like Lewis and Richard, I was also considering making an offer. Bonzo is always on it, because while we are "thinking about it" he has done the deal! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍😎 Shine On michael

Have you never heard of the legendary sessions he did with George Formby. Formby had a cousin four times removed who was there as a young girl and wrote a book about it. Really. 🙂

If Robert Johnson played ukulele That was exactly what I thought when Pete first posted it a couple of years ago. It looks beautiful. Shine On Michael
