Favilla Baritone FS/Trade--New Price

Very nice Favilla Baritone. Recently gone over by luthier Stephen Brown at Acoustic North here in Belfast, Maine, who repaired a couple of top cracks and replaced a back brace. All the work was expertly done, and the uke is now in A-1 structural shape, beautifully set up (12th fret action: .012), and sounding great. Finish is crazed and missing in spots, but it still looks classy. Ebony strap button installed with leather grommet. Comes with new hard case. High-res photos on request. Price: $350 plus shipping, with 3-day approval period, or trade for Gibson UB-1 or nice vintage soprano.

looks in great condition. I bought one on ebay that came damaged and am trying to resolve it.

Good luck with that, Strumsilly. In my experience, everything on ebay comes damaged.

Really? I've bought and sold all kinds of stuff on eBay and never had a problem. It is a risk though.

Non-musicians often have a hard time accurately describing the condition of instruments.

Looks like a beauty. Do you happen to have a picture of the front of the headstock?

Thanks.

Bdsnider · Jul 2, 2011

Thanks for asking, Bill. I'll post additional pictures later this evening when I get home.

Yeah, I've noticed lately, more and more non-music stores and non-musicians selling instruments on ebay, especially used ones.

Hey strum silly, sorry to hear about the condition of yours. I'm glad I didn't go any further with my bidding on it. I still haven't received mine yet so I hope I have better luck with mine.

Bump for back-to-work baritonistas

Hope you had a nice holiday weekend. Favilla baritone still available.

Bdsnider · Jul 11, 2011

Bump. Some inquiries about the Favilla, but no firm offers yet. It really is a nice baritone. Please send along any questions. I can post a sound file if anyone is interested.

Yes! A sound file would be great. I'm loving these baris.

Will do asap.

I'm having a hard time attaching sound clips here. I'll be happy to email some to anyone interested.

Got the clips Bruce and this sounds great! Unfortunately I bought a DVI yesterday and tapped out my uke fund but I'm sure someone here will pick this up soon. So nice that you had it tuned up by a luthier before selling it. So many of these older ukes are sold without that so it's really a nice value-added bonus. Hope it finds a loving home soon!

Baritones are adaptable to a number of different tunings. I just got a GCEA string set from South Coast Ukes, so I can set this one up as a low-G super tenor if anyone's interested in that.

Bdsnider · Jul 21, 2011

Bump. I see that one of these--with a crack and missing fretboard inlays--just sold for $270 on ebay.

Bdsnider · Jul 23, 2011

Favilla baritone sold

Sold! Thanks to all who expressed interest.
