Marxochime Colony Violin-Uke 1920s - Sunburst

Discover a beautiful piece of American musical history! Up for sale is a stunning, fully functional Violin-Uke manufactured by the famous Marx Music Co. (Marxochime Colony) out of New Troy, Michigan (Serial No. 6122). Produced during the golden era of parlor instruments in the early 20th century, this fretless zither is a brilliant hybrid instrument designed to be bowed and plucked simultaneously to create a haunting, beautiful folk sound.

​🌟 Why This One Stand Out:

• ​100% Complete: Finding a Violin-Uke is rare, but finding one with both its original horsehair bow and the original metal tuning key is incredibly difficult. It even has the original rosin block. This is the complete vintage package.
• ​Fully Functional: The instrument has been remarkably well-preserved. The wood is straight and structurally sound, the tuning pins hold well, and it is ready to be tuned up and played.
• ​Beautiful Cosmetic Condition: As seen in the photos, the sunburst finish is vibrant, the wood grain is gorgeous, and the original yellow instructional decals/numbered charts are crisp, clear, and perfectly legible.

​Specifications & Details:

​Whether you are a collector of unique folk instruments, a musician looking for a distinctive vintage acoustic sound, or someone who loves high-quality Americana display pieces, this Violin-Uke is an absolute gem.
