Some info on the Silver Machines played by Dave and George:

1. In the Silver Machine video Dave is playing an actual 1927 National Steel ukulele.

Production of these ceased in 1941.
The UOGB were invited to visit the factory in San Luis Obispo, California during one of our tours, where National Resophonic Steel Guitars are once again made today.

2. In the video George is playing a custom made ukulele with a huge reflector which is made from stainless steel. It was designed by Johnny Jonas, the artist and inventor specifically for George.

It has been used now and then for special shows.
It was featured in the Ukulele Orchestra’s appearance on the Stefan Raab show: “TV Total” on German TV in 2013.

Stefan used to do a challenge riding down toboggan runs in a wok, so it seemed an appropriate instrument for us to get him to play as he jammed with us.

3. Our old friend Steve Evans, who was in bands in Leeds with Kitty before he returned to New Zealand making Beltona ukuleles. He’s now back in the UK and has manufactured, among other things, resonator silver ukuleles, somewhat in the style of national steel instruments.

Peter has had a silver Beltona ukulele for years and lent it to Tiny Tim at Tiny’s request for Tiny’s concert at the Union Chapel in London in 1995 which Peter and George attended.
