Gibson UB-4

It almost seems like a contradiction: "top of the line ukulele banjo."
That's what it is though, the ultimate standard production ukulele item in the 1927
Gibson catalog. The UB-4 has figured walnut neck and resonator, and gold plate hardware.
Unlike the style "4" mandolin banjo, tenor, plectrum or 5-string models,
this ukulele banjo has no tonering.
