Hi,
I'm not sure about selling this wonderful instrument, but if someone offers the asking price, I will consider it. I bought it from the first owner a few months ago, so I put below the description that he wrote:
"The body is premium Eastern maple and the top is an upgraded European spruce. The tangerine sunburst is just incredible and the instrument just glows and sparkles in the light. Bridge, fret board, and head plate are rare Madagascar rosewood. Peghed tuner (4:1 internally geared). Abalone rosette and tortoise binding. Savarez 150R strings. Serial number is 1382 and was completed on 1/9/2014. Condition is outstanding, with very few signs of use. Has been primarily used for finger picking, so no unsightly strum marks on soundboard. Always well cared for and kept properly humidified. Comes with Collings hardshell case (by Ameritage), and an Oasis ukulele humidifier. I had originally listed this for sale earlier this year, but withdrew the listing, thinking I would be able to keep it. Unfortunately, I've got to let it go to help pay for a custom build that is nearing completion. I've loved this instrument, though, and consider it to be of rare character and quality - one of the best I've owned over the years. It's an outstanding player with an unusually warm tone for a maple instrument. Very articulate with excellent clarity and response."
Here is the link to the web page of the shop that initially sold the instrument:
http://acousticmusicworks.com/sold/new-collings-maple-full-body-sunburst-tenor-ukulele
The instrument is still in outstanding conditions. Personally I think that it has opened up since then and that the sound is even more rich and warm.
Price is 1800 € without shipping and insurances.
Please get in touch with any questions and thanks for looking!
