Rare Lyon and Healy c. 1927 Bell Uke Ukulele
Rare Lyon and Healy c. 1927 Bell Uke Ukulele
DESCRIPTION
Beautiful little mahogany soprano. All original including frets, tuners, bridge. Original finish has excellent patina and shows just a bit of checking. Crisp masterful craftsmanship on par with Martin or Gibson. Tone and power is better than either. This is subjective-- however, to my ears this is the best sounding soprano uke I have ever had. Excellent action and playability. Needs nothing. Fits a violin case. (included for shipping)
Current VG price Guide lists this as $2.5-$3 K. This one is 1/2 the book.
CONDITION
Light pick-wear on either side of the fingerboard and a few small finish blemishes could probably be rubbed out. It's untouched; no repairs-- and that's how I'll leave it. By all measures its superb; no apologies. Unlikely you can find one in better condition.
Happy to play it over the phone and give in-hand report. Just call me.
