Looking for a good, used Compass Rose tenor, any body thinking about selling one?

Acoustic Vibes in Tempe has a couple of those. Looks like one is on hold (maybe that's for you), but the other doesn't appear to be. Both are used.

Jeff is a good guy and I wouldn't worry at all about ordering from him.

Sylvan Music in Santa Cruz apparently has some, but not used: http://sylvanmusic.com/inventory.php?search=Ukuleles&instrument=ukulele&manufacturer=Renaissance

Thanks for info, everyone. Seems there are several new Compass Rose tenors around, in a variety of woods.
MGM has a couple too.

Mike has more ukes available than what he has listed on his ebay site.
The folks at Renaissance Guitar sent me the 2011 Compass Rose price list (they start at $1195). Yes, bummer about the price jump, but they have to make a living, too. Renaissance can also do custom orders, direct or through one of their dealers.

I have one on order. I got in right before the price increase. If I had know MGM had them, I would have gotten one from him.

I asked the Renaissance folks about dealers and the pointed me to MGM and Sylvan.
MGM had 3 of the CR ukes and Sylvan had 2. I ended up getting one I really liked from Mike, and it should arrive tomorrow!

A flamed cherry body with ebony FB & bridge. In fact, it's the one in this video.

Did you get the Compass Rose yet? If so, how is it?

Got it last night. The Compass Rose is AWESOME, even better live than in MGM's video.
I thought my Kanilea was nice in low g, until I got this. Clearly, this is the nicest uke I have.
With the floating fretboard the upper bout can resonant with the lower bout. The sustain is unbelieveable. Very even volume across the strings, with clear notes. The Aquila strings work well on it.
Workmanship is 2nd to none.
I am very happy with it.

How is the overall volume? Is it louder than the Kanilea?
