Hallo Folks, it is not Cliff Edwards playing it is Frank Ferea on Steel guitar with unkown second guitar and ukelele. 20 August 1929.

The uke is playing the "chunk-chunk" rhythm behind the Hawaiian...along with a guitar. Through headphones, that ''crunch'' isn't a crunch at all but a uke strum. It's the very distinctive sound of a uke.

@IGOROZKARSKY -Nope. Don't agree. Last chord is a guitar crunch plus a slight rub across the steel-string. That's the high pitched sound you tink is a uke. I play/perform banjo, tenor banjo, ukulele, banjo uke and have messed around with a "Hawaiian" (acoustic) steel and I am more or less cognisant of how they sound thru vintage mics. If Hansaw was making noise with a uke it was negligible and the great uke stylist Edwards wouldn't have wasted his time.

plus this "Dear Old Sunny South By The Sea"- JIMMIE RODGERS
Cliff was the voice of Jimeny Crickett. I believe he was known as "Ukelele Ike".
