I've never had any success at embedding pics in a post, so I'll start by posting a direct link to pics of the ukulele.
I've owned this ukulele since last June. It came to me new from a man who was downsizing his music school on the North Shore. He had originally gotten the uke from the Saint Andrews Priory school in Honolulu, when they downsized *their* music department. I was told it was brand new and had never been played, and it certainly looked like it. The side of the headstock is marked Saint Andrews Priory in what appears to be black Sharpie - I was going to have a luthier remove this, but then decided it was a part of the history of the uke and I left it alone.
The uke was my main player for a few months, until I got my first concert uke. While this one still gets played, it is still in very good, well-cared-for condition. It comes with the factory hardshell case and factory-installed passive pickup. It's currently strung with Aquila concert strings, which I think sound and feel great on a soprano (higher tension, longer sustain). This uke has 12 frets to the body and a total of 14 frets. I'll include a little Honeytone practice amp if you would like.
I'm selling this one to finance the purchase of a Kamaka HP-1 pineapple - it doesn't make sense for me to keep two soprano ukes, and I prefer the pineapple.
Asking $475 shipped, CONUS. Open to reasonable offers - doesn't hurt to ask me
