Banjo ukulele.

Technical description: Small banjo body with calfskin head. Metal tone ring with six tension screws. String attaching hooks protrude from the tone ring at the bottom. Rim of beech, veneered with rosewood on the outside and painted black on the inside. The rim is constructed in two halves, joined by halflap joints at the top and bottom. The head, neck, heel and body support are of one piece, probably some variety of mahogany. The body support goes through the rims at the top halflap joint and is let into the body at the bottom. The heel flows smoothly into the neck. There are four rosewood friction tuning pegs. The nut is ivory. The fingerboard is a very thin layer of ebony glued onto a thin layer of holly, which is in turn glued onto the mahogany neck. The neck is 222mm long, 32mm wide at the nut, and 46mm wide at the body join. There are 17 metal frets. There are mother-of-pearl position markers at frets 3, 5, 7, 10 and 12. Repair History: Originally there was an endpin which acted to anchor the body support in place.
