after much deliberation, I have decided to end my current relationship with the ukulele. I simply reach too often for an instrument when I should be doing something else.
this is a new acquisition for me, purchased from Rancho Cucamonga last week. It was listed on ebay as "new" and I will have to agree with that. the previous owner must have purchased it and kept it in the case without ever even tuning up. It came to me with those nylon strings (hilo?) that make it sound more like a toy than a serious instrument. I changed out to some martin clear flurocarbons and it sings a sweet, sweet tone.
so, I will call it mint, and I don't use that grade lightly. the warranty card is included in the case. beautiful tone, beautiful wood. my only beef with it is the nut and saddle- I'm just not a fan of the tusq material, and probably would've switched out for bone, but that's just my preference.
I'm offering it a greatly reduced price because of the C and E strings, which, when strummed with enough force, buzz a bit through the first 5 frets. It's not enough to really bother me, but we all have our preferences, so someone may want to have that adjusted.
paypal or cash if you're local.
$695.00 firm; this includes shipping and insurance to the lower 48 US only.
Uke is dated july 25, 2018- so not even a year old yet!
not interested in trades; thanks for understanding.
best way to reach me, and also my paypal address:
marktwincity@yahoo.com
for whatever reason I can't send email through UU on my smartphone...
photos and sound clip (one sound clip with nylon strings, the others with clear flurocarbon strings)
