2 Makapilis for sale <SOLD>

thomas · Mar 24, 2010

I have 2 New Makapili Ukuleles for sale.

Makapili ukuleles are made by me in my workshop in Italy.

The first one is a Concert Pineapple. It is solid Acacia Confusa, with an Indian Rosewood fretboard and bridge. The neck is spanish cedar.

It is a great ukulele, but has 2 very small flaws in the headstock. The price reflects this.

The price is 475 Euros including shipping within Europe.

Price reduced to 400 Euros.

THE SOPRANO IS SOLD

The second ukulele is a Soprano.

It is also solid Acacia Confusa, with a one piece top and back. The fretboard and bridge are Indian Rosewood, and the neck is spanish cedar.

This ukulele looks and sounds really nice.

It also has a very small flaw in the headstock.

The price is 375 Euros including shipping within Europe. SOLD

Take care,
Thomas

Here are the sound files of these particular instruments.

Excuse my shabby playing and bad recording gear. There are much better samples to be found on my website.

Concert: http://www.box.net/shared/71hqqgo466

Take care,

Both of these ukuleles are still available.

I dont think I will be reducing the price this time, because they are already priced well below what they are worth.

These are the last two sets of Acacia Confusa that I have available to me. After this I dont think I will be able to get any more of it. I will be using Koa in the future and charging considerably higher proces for my instruments. The Acacia I have been using looks very nice, and has sounded every bit as good as the Koa I have built with. It is a shame that only lower end builders have used other Acacia species up until now. I feel that the wood, and therefore my instruments are undeservedly labeled as cheap because of this. Acacia is an excellent tonewood. However I feel that some Asian factories have tarninshed its reputation. I assure you that my instruments are in no way cheap, as anyone who has played one can attest to.

Take care,
Thomas

What are the flaws, thomas?

thomas · Mar 30, 2010

Hi fivetide,

The flaws on the concert are a small scratch on the headstock, and a 1mm long crack in the macassar ebony headstock veneer. Neither are structural problems at all, and they are barely noticeable. But I cant fail to mention them, since I did notice them.

Take care,
Thomas

These Ukuleles are still avialable.
