Hard to believe now this old Wendell Hall was pretty beaten up when I got it. It's had a replacement peghead fascia as everything had degraded and fell off. However the original fingerboard is about the best I've ever seen on a Wendell Hall and hasn't degraded at all over time, with 0 wear, after nearly 100 years, no idea how or why? The plating polished up real nice. Somebody stole the armrest which is a shame as I personally love them. I decided to leave everything else as I found it, all the scuffs to the sides and back of the resonator and original transfer, in keeping with it's age. Amazingly it came fitted with its original ludwig stamped head. This uke is a classic ugly duckling turned into a Swan, its a beauty. Lovely sounding, has the ludwig ring behind it and it's a joy to play. So of course I can't part with it. They all sound slightly different to the enthusiast, and annoyingly noisy to everyone else 😁, so thanks to the phone cameraman for putting up with me. This little ditty is Ukulelezaza's 'Twighlight shuffle' played again as a comparison.
