This was really interesting Aaron. One of the projects in my pile of projects is a partially assembled Formby Dallas E. It's missing some parts, and I think some of the parts that are with it are the result of other people's failed attempts to restore it. Quite the jigsaw puzzle. So this kind of video, where you look at different ways people have engineered it is interesting. Pretty much the same job, done several different ways. Who knows, it might help me figure out the Formby one if I stare at it long enough 😂 More like Jenga than a jigsaw.
These oldies are so interesting and such gems. I have an Avalon branded banjo uke and formerly a very similar Bruno with its original case. I am not sure who the actual company was that produced them...both of them based on the Lyon and Healy model. Have enjoyed watching your recent musical forays in the UK! 👍

Another really interesting historical breakdown on old instruments. Always wondered how old ukulele banjo internals. Have a great week.
I have been tinkering on several and really appreciate the information. Really enjoy your program. Hope your wrist heals!

Nice. Have been wanting to build one up for a while.
Super interesting; thank you!
Some of these are beautiful But..didnt George Formby invent the Banjo uke so that he could play in music halls and be heard ? Preamplification...
First banjo ukes were made around 1917. George Formby was born in 1904. He didn’t buy a uke till 1923.
