In an effort to reduce the number of ukes I have, I've advertised a few on Reverb. Unfortunately, when I go to Reverb, I see other ukes for sale.
There was a nice soprano offered by Maple Street Guitars, Atlanta, GA. It had been on the site for four months, so I made an offer. To my surprise, they accepted. However, before I could make payment, I got a message saying they had put the sale on hold because they noticed that the bridge was lifting slightly in one spot. They would have their luthier check it and get back to me.
They repaired it and gave it their "seal of approval," along with another price reduction. I've had bridges lift and pop off, so it's not a concern for me. I paid, and I'm eagerly awaiting my new soprano. I'll post pictures when it arrives next week.
It was nice of Maple Street to act the way they did. They could have easily sent it on its way, hoping I wouldn't complain about the slight lift in this used uke. They could have blamed it on getting jostled in shipping. So, if you see something nice advertised by Maple Street Guitars, you can buy with confidence.
