checking interest - 1920s Columbia mahogany soprano ukulele

I'm not 100% certain I'm ready to let this one go. It doesn't get much play time though, and this makes me sad

So if you are interested in giving this little uke a new, loving home, please PM me.

In a cool vintage case

I bought this from Jake Wildwood, who did an excellent restoration and setup with Aquilas. You can read Jake's description of the uke here.

That Uke has serious Mojo in my opinion. Hopefully it will find a new home soon.

It looks really nice. I bought my first vintage uke ( a "Criterion" from Columbus Ohio) from Jake Wildwood also. He does nice work with restorations.

For what it is - a low-priced instrument of its day - it really is surprisingly nice. I was playing it last night a bit; for 1920s songs it's absolutely perfect. I'd forgotten, since I've been more into playing classical lately. Still mulling over whether or not I should sell it

I want you to keep it! You need a mahogany uke!

I could always buy one of those long-neck Kiwayas to fill the mahogany void...
