The Windsor “The Whirle” is a British-made banjo ukulele from the 1920s–30s, built in Birmingham by one of the UK’s foremost pre-war instrument makers. It delivers a bright, punchy tone ideal for group performance or solo strumming. Noted for its craftsmanship, the Whirle typically features friction tuners, a calfskin vellum head, and elegant details like birdseye maple veneer. It remains a sought-after vintage piece for both collectors and players, representing a golden era of UK instrument making before Windsor’s factory was destroyed in WWII.
