"The At-A-Glance Illustrated Self Instructor for Ukulele and Ukulel-Banjo," issued by Wm. J. Smith Music Co., Inc., 1927. The item's front cover has the title at the top in white and orange letters, with a color image of a group of three men and three women playing ukuleles and ukulele-banjos by a body of water as the sun sets in the horizon. On the reverse is an advertisement for another ukulele book offered by the publisher. The first page shows the orientation of the two instruments with terms describing parts and the number of frets. Tuning, holding, picking and strumming, and playing three basic chords of the instrument are next. Following are diagram accompaniments for classic songs. Then there is another section of chords, with illustrations showing technique. More classic songs follow, followed by another set of chords. At the back is a list of major and minor chords, as well as diminshed sevenths and augmented fifths for effect. In good condition, the artifact has cover creases, dented corners, surface soiling, and some stains, as well as page discoloration.Lexicon
