How about this Black Bear soprano? [/B]

Lovely instrument in near new condition, #480 built by Duane Heilman 4/2015. Some very minor rubbing around soundhole, otherwise as new.
Full, warm, punchy, resonant, lovely feel, excellent volume.

* 40 year seasoned all koa body
* mango neck with graphite truss rod for extra strength/stability
* rosewood fretboard and bridge
* bone nut and saddle
* grover friction tuners w/ white buttons
* maple and ebony headplate bear inlay
* double ringed maple rosette
* 12 frets to the body, 15 total
* pearl marker inlays at 5, 7, 10
* currently strung with high G fremont blacklines

It's a brilliant uke. This is your chance to get hold of an essentially new Black Bear at considerably reduced price.

Pictures below and a review and sound sample in next post.

Uke cost $600 plus shipping without a case.
I am asking $525 and will include shipping and a new hardcase. Price reduction: $495
PRICE REDUCTION: $450
Paypal gift preferred.
Thanks for looking everyone. Cheers.

FINAL PRICE REDUCTION - $425 shipped worldwide in new hard case

Had I not just bought another soprano, I would've clicked "buy"! ;-) Congrats to whomever picks this up!
 
Very nice. You cannot go wrong with this Uke, just saying...
 
Cheers lads.

Buuuuuuuuuurp. 'scuse me...last night's garlic. :p
 
OK. Gonna go with the Soupmeister's terms and see if I can move this ripper uke on to somebody.

Price Drop:

$495 shipped with hardcase
 
Black bear ukes a wonderful I have owned a couple ofver the years they play and sound really well and at this price its a real bargain lucky new owner
 
Bumping this. This sweet soprano is still available. Thanks folks.
 
Whoa. that slipped into the ether quickly!!! Seems everybody is selling and nobody is buying...

Anyway, bumping this again. Beautiful uke and still available.

Offers/trades considered.
 
This is a real steal at 495.00 shipped with hardcase. Black Bear Ukes are finely crafted and well known for their quality tone and playability. If you are a soprano person...you shouldn't pass up this deal. Jon is great to deal with.
 
You had me at boobs..............but no pictures and it's not real :p
 
LOL bait and switch move mate huh.. :) but the bb is a good player, maybe not MB status but certainly a fun uke.. good luck
 
C'mon let's trash this thread good and proper before I shut it down and ban myself. :wtf::uhoh::wallbash:
 
BUMPITY BOOB.

Uke is back up for sale at reduced price.

Now $450 inc. worldwide shipping

(PS could a moderator please alter the title and remove evidence of my smart-assery please?
Title should read: Black Bear Koa Soprano.
Thanks! *hangs head in shame* :eek: )
