Hi all,
I have a D.S. Gill concert pineapple cedar from 2011. It's a lovely uke, but doesn't get played as much as it should. It has a nice, warm sound typical of cedar. Strung with living water strings. Comes with a Uke Crazy case. Only a couple hundred of David's ukes out there, so this is pretty special. The cedar is soft (it's cedar), so there are some small dings and surface scratches I tried to capture in the photos, but they're pretty hard to see. Two bigger issues: when I bought the uke, the centre spike? on the headstock was a bit squished (see pic). Also, there is a small crack on the soundboard. I tried to capture this in the photo, but you can only see it if you put pressure on the board, which I obviously avoid, and doesn't affect the sound. I took it to my local luthier and he suggested I leave it as is.
I'm open to offers for both sale and trade. Looking for either concert or tenor. Located in Canada, but happy to ship anywhere.
Thanks!
