I am selling off my ukes as I no longer play anything but my Moore Bettah. I sold the Kamaka today, and the Kanilea is in the Marketplace now. I am now listing what had been my most prized uke: a special order KoAloha curly koa tenor with a crown bridge.
I special ordered this uke direct from Pops Okami, and got it a couple of years ago. It is loud, with that great KoAloha tone. The curly koa is unique, as KoAloha usually uses more straight grain. In addition, this was one of the last two crown bridges Pops had left. It has an LR Baggs 5.0 pickup that was installed at KoAloha.
I love this uke and hate to part with it, but honestly, it is not getting the love and playing it deserves. That being said, while I deeply discounted the Kamaka and discounted the Kanilea, I am not discounting this one as I only would sell it for the right price (not interested in trades). So I am listing it for $1000 local pickup in Los Angeles, or $1100 shipped in the United States. If the cost of my shipping and packaging are less than $100 I will refund the difference back to the buyer.
I will be out of town from May 25-June 4 so if the uke sells during that time, I will have to deliver it locally or ship it on the 5th of June.
Here are some photos of my beloved KoAloha...
