@Shyaman7 Thank you. I don't know how this helps with your translation work but I am happy to hear from you.

Is that a home made banjo uke? I like it very much.

[lewdite]

No, it's an old 1920s Gibson with a tin head. I have never seen one or even heard of one before so I can't tell you any more than that.
