Stunning custom Talsma baritone ukulele, 21” scale; figured mahogany top, sides and back; maple rosette and top and bottom bindings, maple headplate and neck stripe. There are diagonally mounted Gotoh Planetary tuners, ebony fretboard with radius, ebony thru-bridge, bone nut and saddle. It also has a K&K Aloha Twinspot pickup. Neck width is 1.5" at the nut. I purchased this in the UU Marketplace early this year. The original custom order was in 2014 (called “Bob’s Baritone”) that you can see on Dave Talsma’s website.
Here’s a picture album with many photos : https://flic.kr/s/aHsm8wddu3
The sound is outstanding. This uke is very responsive. It's Loud, warm with excellent intonation and great sustain. I have Aquila wound D & G and Oasis GPX FC for the B & E. This has yielded the right balance of warmth and clarity. Here’s a sound sample: https://app.box.com/s/e75yikk0eykufvuvmesq9gl10cuaw72f
It has been very lightly played and is in excellent condition. However there are a couple builder small imperfections on it. There is a very tiny finish “chip” in the top side of the ebony fretboard, almost unnoticeable. Another small finish chip at the E-string tuning peg washer, and some filled pores around the sound hole that are slightly raised. But all-and-all it is gorgeous. Check out the photo album for more details.
I am selling as to keep just two baritones and I have 3 (Oceana, Pohaku and Talsma).
**** SOLD! ***
