Very reluctantly I am selling this incredible ukulele, and you will see in another listing I am offering a Romero Tiny Tenor in all koa. Why am I selling? Circumstances in life change. That's the best way I know how to delicately put it.
I purchased this uke from luthier, David Ingalls, in November 2013. Here are the specs as completely as I can remember.
16 inch scale concert
Alaska Yellow Cedar top
Myrtle body
Port Orford Cedar neck
Custom rosette
Peghead overlay
Carbon fiber reinforced neck
Oil finish
Gotoh UPT planetary tuners in black
Bindings and tail graft
String-thru bridge
Black strap buttons on the heel of the neck and tailend
It does not have the cantilevered fretboard that David is currently building into his ukes.
Alaska Yellow Cedar is a soft tone wood. There are strum marks and I have tried to capture that in the pictures. If you are buying a uke to look good, you will not want to buy this ukulele. If you want to buy a ukulele that sounds great, you will want to buy this ukulele.
The comments in Ukulele Eddie's thread http://forum.ukuleleunderground.com/showthread.php?117759-Ono-Alaskan-Yellow-Cedar-Myrtle-16-quot-Concert-%28gCEA%29 about his AYC/Myrtle capture my thoughts also, plus his playing on his sound sample is better than what I can put together.
Also, as mentioned in that thread, Kalei plays it tuned up a step and the result is fantastic. https://vimeo.com/146447159
David's current base price, as published on his website is $1,000. That does include the cantilevered fretboard. The bindings and tail graft add $150, for a total of $1,150. I originally listed this with a Kanile'a hardshell case which is in the pictures. Instead of the Kanile'a case I am offering this ukulele with an Uke Crazy case. In addition, the price does not include shipping. The buyer can tell me whether they want to use UPS or FedEx, and I will add to the price the actual charges.
The price for this ukulele is $500 which includes the Uke Crazy case, and buyer pays shipping charges.
I will add more pictures below.
