I'm embarking on a ruthless clear out - if it's not played weekly then it's not sticking around.
Here we have the prototype for the Omega Klassico ukuleles. Only 20 made of each size, only 1 prototype made and this is that prototype! I bought it from Matt at Omega (now at World of Ukes) when they were released.
I used to play concerts loads and now I don't. I've come close to selling this one a number of times over the years but have always decided against it because of its incredible sound - serious volume with very little effort and fantastic note clarity. That cedar top is a powerhouse. I have sold tenors in the £300 - £500 range for not matching up to the tone and responsiveness of this uke.
Specs:
Solid cedar top
Lam rosewood back and sides
Bone nut / saddle
Rosewood fretboard
Living Water flouro strings
It's a prototype and it has been well played so if you're looking for cosmetic perfection then look elsewhere! It has some strum wear (see pic). It also has a ding or two in the edge of the top (see pic). There is one place where the laminate has a bubble (see pic) but that's been like it since day one and is stable. Currently strung lefty but the side markers on the neck are for righties.
£50 collect (Gloucester or Swindon)
£60 delivered UK
80 EUR delivered EU (delivery costs more to the continent, sorry)
