FS/FT: DaSilva custom 19 fret soprano DavSila#291

Hi everyone,

I'm listing this lovely custom Da Silva soprano ukulele. It's an absolute stunner. I recently got it from fellow UU member Janeray1940.

You can see the original listing here:

I'm only selling as I've gone down a similar route of falling in love with the koa concert sound. I was lucky enough to get an HF2D+ from HMS recently and I've utterly fallen in love with the Kamaka sound and would love to get either a Kamaka soprano or tenor. Janeray was superb to deal with and I was very happy with this uke.

It's a gorgeous ukulele with amazing note clarity. It also has the best intonation of any ukulele I've had and unusually for a soprano has 19 playable frets! Nice low action and plays like butter.

The specs:

13.75" scale length
Honduras mahogany top, back, sides and neck
Ebony fretboard
19 frets
Peghed tuners
Polyester gloss finish

It is currently strung with Worth BLs for a nice warm tone. It is in great condition with gorgeous mirror gloss and just a few minimal signs of wear to the neck.

I am not looking to make any more than I bought it for and will take anywhere around $800 plus shipping. I will post worldwide from the UK and will do a deal (reduce the price a bit) to help anyone wanting it in the States.

Comes with a lovely hard case.

Would also be interested in trades for a Kamaka soprano or tenor.

Many thanks, as always.

Matt

PS. Janeray - Sorry, did try to send an email just to let you know I'm posting this and not to worry, I was really happy with the uke (which I am - it's fantastic - just not my flavour right now!). UU wouldn't let me. I'm guessing your inbox may be full. Cheers, Matt

No worries, Matt! I've got PMs turned off right now so I'm glad I caught this post. I actually laughed out loud when I saw your reason for selling. A HF2D+ can definitely cause some serious koa concert love

And for those considering the purchase - Matt was fantastic to deal with, I have no doubt that he's as trustworthy of a seller as he is a buyer, and everything he wrote about the uke is spot-on.

Best of luck on the sale (or trade).
