This came from Mim a couple of months ago, but recently the opportunity has come up to buy my dream uke, so sadly this beauty has to go. I have to say, I adore this uke. It sounds so sweet, and is an absolute joy to play, I just love the Kamaka neck shape.
Concert neck on a soprano body, joins at the 14th fret. All solid koa, with a lovely curve in the grain around the bookmatch, almost like a real pineapple
Great tone, excellent intonation, it plays beautifully right up the neck. Super-smooth geared Gotoh UPT tuners. Rosewood fingerboard and bridge, compensated saddle (I think it's Tusq, as is the nut). Very high quality Kamaka hard case.
I got it at a discounted price because Mim accidentally dinged it, I have photographed the ding, which is on the back and not very noticeable. I have played it a lot, and there is an area of shine in the semi-gloss finish on the A string side of the soundhole. It may be play wear, or I may have accidentally caused it while over zealously attempting to remove a fingerprint. There is also a little shine on the corner of the lower bout, where your arm rests.
I'm asking £550 including UK postage. But I need to sell, so I'm open to sensible offers.
Here are the inevitable sideways photos:
