A customised Wendell Hall
A very special customised 'Wendell Hall' Banjo Ukulele.
Probably a standard Wendell Hall which has been stripped
and redecorated. It was supposedly done for the female
partner of an American variety act.
The flare-edge has been decorated between the slots with
with vertical rows of red, amber and white gemstones which
glint in the stage spotlights. The peghead is decorated with
a pretty Mother of Pearl 'Fleur de Lys' motif. The bezel,
flaredge and tailpiece have also been engraved.
This lovely instrument is currently owned by Peter Pollard,
webmaster of 'The George Formby Society'.
Purchased for him by his wife, Kathryn, as a present (lucky
sod).
My grateful thanks to Peter, as without his help and
guidance this Banjo Ukulele website would still be just an
idea.My thanks to him also for the mug shot and the 3 close
ups
