Is getting on Mike's build list an option, or are you only looking for a pre-owned DaSilva?
Good luck in the search, if others feel about their DaSilva like me you may have to pry it from some cold dead hands.
I know...I had a DaSilva..and SOLD it...not likely to happen again.
I sent you an email.

Natalie had the prettiest DaSilva soprano I have ever seen, Fred, for sale in 2012 (God, I have been around here too long!) and, in the end at the time, she decided not to sell it and took it off the market. PM her and see if she's still game to sell it. She's super nice; I contacted her at the time and didn't buy it (Martin 3 style! DaSilva) only because my home property taxes were coming due and my town was gouging me and making an example out of me and acting like, "Oh, we're the big town and we have you by the short hairs and..."...well, that's a different tale of woe.
I have a beautiful DaSilva # 34 zirocote b/s and salvaged fir top that I don't think I could ever part with. Great action, feel and sound. Idid see on Elderly site thet had a thin body tenor you might check out if your inerested.
Hi janeray,
Thanks for posting the pictures of my babe. The pictures really are just a reflection of #34's beauty. To see #34 the zirocote/salvage fir gives the appearance of bleeding/blending/mixing together. It was for sale used at Gryphon and I was stunned. I called Mr. DaSilva just to ask him about it and he contacted Gryphon and it ended up back in his hands. He went over it and contacted me and I bought it from him. A few years later, the bridge came off and I contacted him and he had me send it to him and re set the bridge and let me know I should never have that problem again. I could not even tell at all the bridge had been reset. When I bought it, I was fairly new to the uke world and it was my first soprano. I have acquired a few nice sopranos including a Glyph that is a stunner but overall if I was down to one soprano, I believe #34 is the one I would keep. In hindsight considering my ignorance of ukes at the time, I really did well for my first soprano. By the way, the beauty is only part of this beautiful uke, it has sound to match IMHO!
