Weymann Style 225 Banjo Ukulele , c. 1926

Weymann Style 225 Model Banjo Ukulele, c. 1926, made in Philadelphia, natural varnish finish, maple neck and rim, ebony fingerboard.
 
Height is 23 3/4 in. (60.3 cm.), 7 in. (17.8 cm.) width, and 2 1/4 in. (5.7 cm.) . Scale length is 15 in. (381 mm.). Width of nut is 1 1/4 in. (32 mm.). All original (including a period head and bridge) except for one bracket and nut; some chipping to the logo decal on the back of the headstock and the plating on the hooks, nuts and some other hardware is somewhat dingy. Average light finish wear and checking overall. A wonderful and very unusual little instrument, built much heavier than technically required for gut strings (this would be an excellent choice for steel stringing, if desired) that plays and sounds fantastic. Excellent Condition.
