c.1925 Washburn by Lyon & Healy Soprano Ukulele


This cute little fellow is the selfsame destroyed uke featured in this blog post. I've since repaired its multiple cracks, reglued the ailing bridge, cleaned it all up, spiffed it up, and it's now ready to hit the road again. Big, poppy sound... lots of volume. As expected from a nice Washburn.


The entire thing is mahogany, though the fretboard is rosewood.


Headstock. Ebony nut.


MOP dots and 17 frets.


Back.


Love these old ivoroid tuners. Work great.


Detail.


Side.


You can really see that severe wear at this angle.
