Here’s what Chuck’s handwritten notes say:
NSB Tenor 4 String Uke #1110 (Serial)
Solid Koa Body
Ebony binding, fretboard and bridge
Spanish Cedar neck (Carbon Fiber Reinforced)
Side Sound Port
Grover Closed Geared Tuners
“Tree Frog” Inlay: Green Abalone Shell, Koa, Comp Stone
Micarta Nut – Bone Saddle
Glossy Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish
Worth CHLG Strings
NOTE: I’m not sure about the word “comp” in the “Inlay” line. I’ve included a photo of Chuck’s comments in the photos. If anyone can tell me if my interpretation is incorrect, I’d appreciate it.
I replaced the shipping case with a carbon fiber case (see photos). I bought the ukulele from Chuck on April 4th, 2011. This was my first of three of his ukuleles I have owned. The only time this instrument has been out of my home was on its way to me. It has been played only by me and for less than 2 hours since I received it. It has been stored in a temperature and humidity controlled environment. It is PERFECT - no scratches, blemishes, or marking of any kind on it or the case. It is a NEW 6 year old Moore Bettah ukulele in a very nice carbon fiber case.
I will sell it to someone on this forum for $6800 and give 5% to this forum. Sorry, no trades and I am not very flexible on the price. If it doesn’t sell here then I will put it on eBay. I’d prefer to sell it to someone who I can deal with in person, but will ship it (buyer pays shipping - which must be air because there is less chance of damage) if that is the only way.
Thanks for the years of enjoyment and information this forum has provided and I’m sorry I’ve been hit and miss in the last few years. I'm selling the ukulele because my wife and I have been traveling about 40% of the time and I’ve been busy taking photographs. I'm not a very good player, so this instrument is way over my head; however, it is my favorite ukulele of all time, and just owning it has been rewarding - I appreciate fine craftsmanship.
