Vintage Dallas C Banjo Ukulele

Comfortable playability with genuine vintage character

This vintage Dallas C banjo ukulele is a good, genuine, honest little instrument — exactly what it claims to be, with no exaggeration and no gimmicks.

It isn’t a high-end collector’s piece or a rare “holy grail” model, but it is a proper vintage Dallas banjo uke that plays well, sounds bright and direct, and does the job it was built to do. Instruments like this appeal to players who want an authentic vintage feel without paying premium prices for top-tier models.

The Dallas C model was used by George Formby himself, and he recorded his final two songs on a C model.

If you’re looking for a genuine vintage banjo ukulele that delivers the right feel and sound without inflated pricing or exaggerated claims, this Dallas C makes a lot of sense. It’s a straightforward, playable instrument with an authentic vintage character, professionally checked and set up so it’s ready to be enjoyed straight away. Honestly described and sensibly priced. It’s an ideal choice for someone who wants a real vintage banjo uke for playing.
