Description

This is an awesome sounding ukulele!  Lyon and Healy built this instrument for Washburn, most likely, in the 1930’s.  It has solid mahogany for it’s back and sides and has a great bright and warm tone and good articulation.  The ukulele is restrung and ready to go!  Action at the 12th fret is 4.5/32.” It is in very good used condition, with no evident repairs. It has normal, light wear from use (scratches and tiny dings) and one spot along the headstock where it looks like the finish may have bubbled underneath.  Really nice checking to the finish too.  This instrument comes with a hard shell case, in good condition, but missing it’s handle.
