My own Ludwig
|
An absolutely unique Ludwig
Banjo Ukulele, custom made, circa 1930, in Chicago U.S.A., for someone whose
initials JC were printed in the peghead. A most unusual material was used to
decorate the peghead and the resonator giving the instrument a beautiful
golden colour . This material was called ‘PYRALIN’ and was
probably being used by Ludwig for decorating drum kits. It is also decorated with bright red
rhinestones which glint in the light. There are 7 in the peghead and a large
one in the centre of the Resonator. It has a powerful and brilliant tone. Imported from the U.S.A. in 1990, this
Banjo Ukulele is currently owned by Dennis Taylor, former President of
‘The George Formby Society’. Having its original Ludwig Banjo Ukulele
case with Ludwig identification plate and unusually covered internally with
blue corduroy type material. |
