Quite often these Dallas ukes pop up with different finishes. i've seen model E's with the flange from a model D, and vice versa.
Here we have a D with a dark finish, and i'm told made from walnut instead of maple too.
Looking at the neck joint the wood does seem different.
I'm sure its not just a maple one painted. the finish round the binding is too neat.
On close examination the uke looks otherwise the same as a regular Maple one.
bit of a mystery really, if anyone has any info, please share it with me.
Its serial number is D/1411. So it was a early pre-war produced instrument.
Does this give any clues?
Who only knows? There are so many stories regarding these Dallas ukes.
One thing i can say, it plays very well and really sounds great. Maybe it is all in the wood?
