bruko custom longneck soprano ukulele
hand made by Hubert Pfeiffer, Germany, Jan 2015
http://www.brueko.de/screen/overview
curly walnut top, back, nut
maple sides, fretboard, bridge, rosette, headplate, neck stripe
ash neck
photographs and sound demos 30.7.17
the first piece of music is a short, original improvised instrumental
titled "sunroom serenade" (j.duncan).
the second piece of music i call "wandering medley" and features 3 traditional songs: 'lonesome valley' (traditional/arr j.duncan); 'i'll fly away' (traditional/arr j.duncan) and 'wandering boy' (traditional/arr a.keim).
this instrument is in mint condition.
it has a bright, bold tone
with excellent intonation.
currently strung with Aquila high-g strings,
although I think there are other sets
more complimentary for this instrument.
after ordering and playing 7 other brukos before
I ordered this one, I felt they all sort of sounded the same;
which is why the specs here are a little weird -
I ordered on the basics of aesthetics purely,
as opposed to tone.
and I found that yep, this one sounds like all
the others I've played: big, loud and bold.
it has superb intonation, the action is ok up the neck
and it has a nice depth and warmth underneath -
as I hope the sound sample below will testify to.
I paid $385 euro in Jan 2015.
I am asking $375USD shipped worldwide with insurance
I will supply a padded gigbag.
I will box and pack the instrument with utmost care.
I accept and prefer paypal and would appreciate
if payment is made via the "family and friends" option.
I am unable to upload pictures to the site
but any further questions/more pictures etc
please message me here:

or post on the thread.
thanks all.
here is a short film with still photographs
and some audio samples.
