Lot 3156 | BANJO 'LUDWIG BELLEVUE' Chicago, USA, 1925 Viersaitiges B
BANJO 'LUDWIG BELLEVUE' Chicago, USA, 1925 Four-string banjo, gilded hardware, mother-of-pearl decorations, walnut, maple wood, with case. L. 83,5, cup diameter 32 cm. Inscribed 'Bellevue Ludwig' on the head, marked 'Ludwig Pat. Pend.' on the rim, numbered '2934'. The Ludwig Drum Company was founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1909 by brothers Theobald (1888-1918) and William F. Ludwig (1879-1973). They realized in the early 1920s that banjos were closely related to drums and produced a series of Ludwig banjo models beginning in 1921. However, production ceased again in the early 1930s and Ludwig refocused on its core business of making drums, which is still respected today. This is a 1920 original Ludwig Bellevue banjo from the heyday of the Jazz Age. The Bellevue was at the center of the Chicago company's banjo line and is a sought-after instrument among banjo enthusiasts and collectors for its distinctive sound and quality craftsmanship. This banjo was played by Jürgen Drews, among others. Backs. Body bumped, min. rubbed, ready to play. Provenance: Private collection Düsseldorf.

'Bellevue Ludwig', am Rand gemarkt 'Ludwig Pat. Pend.', num. '2934'. Die Ludwig Drum Company wurde 1909 in Chicago, Illinois von den Brüdern Theobald (1888-1918) und William F. Ludwig (1879-1973) gegründet. Sie erkannten in den frühen 1920er Jahren, dass Banjos eng mit Trommeln verwandt sind und produzierte ab 1921 eine Reihe von Ludwig-Banjos Modellen. Anfang der 1930er Jahre wurde jedoch die Produktion wieder eingestellt und Ludwig konzentrierte sich wieder auf sein bis heute angesehene Kerngeschäft der Schlagzeugherstellung. Dies ist ein 1920er originales Ludwig Bellevue Banjo aus der Blütezeit des Jazz Age. Das Bellevue stand in der Mitte der Banjo-Linie der Chicagoer Firma und ist aufgrund seines charakteristischen Klangs und seiner hochwertigen Verarbeitung ein begehrtes Instrument unter Banjo-Enthusiasten und Sammlern. Dieses Banjo wurde unter anderem von Jürgen Drews gespielt. Rücks. Korpus best., min. ber., spielbereit. Provenienz: Privatsammlung Düsseldorf.
