1930 JOHNNY MARVIN TENOR UKELELE MADE BY HARMONY CO. CHICAGOSunburst finish, double bound 7-3/4" flamed mahogany body, mahogany neck, Brazilian rosewood fretboard, dot markers, 12 frets, maple "airplane" bridge, pearloid headstock features fancy logo decal, mechanical friction tuners, built in the USA, 1-7/16" nut, 14-3/4" scale (actually concert scale, despite the model name)Harmony Johnny Marvin ukes aren't too rare, but the earlier ones with the "Lindbergh" airplane bridge and flamed mahogany bodies are a bit rarer. They're also so stylish! While these are labeled as "tenor" instruments on the headstock, their scale length and size is distinctly on the smaller end of concert uke sizing. They have a thinner (front to back) but wider (nut width) neck, too, which means that they feel altogether different from most modern ukes. They're more "Hawaiian" in feel but "mainland" in tonal character. Compared to your average Harmony uke, though, these are a lot "airier" with more depth and a mellow brightness.I am a touring musician and have used this on stage. It has no cracks or repairs and plays perfectly. It comes with a case (not the original one)Thanks for having a look at this wonderful instrument that sounds incredible.I'm not sure on shipping so we can sort out the cost when you buy. It should be less than what I listed I think.
