That's no surprise.

Hi Guys,
I was the one that sent Jake Wildwood the Timms. I had picked it up off UU not too long ago,
and it was the second Timms I have had the honor to own and noodle on. The first one I had, I donated as a prize
for a UU contest Jon Duncan and I had done some time ago.
Ken does absolutely wonderful instruments, & far too undervalued in my opinion. I had purchased the second Timms, here on UU
to gift to a friend, to get him into ukulele's ( I am a music 'pusher' and do everything I can to get my friends into uke's ),
but unfortunately he did not have room in his luggage for his return to Africa , where he donates his time as a doctor.
So sent it onto my friend Jake Wildwood to sell for me on consignment, to turn back into funds that I can donate to my friends clinic in Africa.
Will I purchase another Timms? Absolutely!! I myself prefer concert size ukuleles, - But would search out another to donate on. - Ed G in Lakebay Washington

Another Timms went on Ebay today - £627...
Can I be your friend?
This gets my vote as the thread that never dies. Rightfully so, great instruments by a great builder and interesting human being. Heck guys are even selling them to fund hospitals in Africa, what's not to like
I just registered with this forum because I really want a Ken Timms uke. The nicest uke I’ve played so far is the £1,200 (new) Martin 2 uke in a store on Denmark Street, which was wildly more expensive than I could ever afford, but unfortunately it set the standard for me. Would you guys recommend a Timms over that one?

I certainly do - large hands -wider nuts on sopranos are a must for me.Just about the worst thing I can say is that it has got a 36mm nut, and some folks prefer that.
