Checking Interest: Kiwaya KTS4

pdxuke · Jul 20, 2011

I'm checking interest in the community for my mahogany Kiwaya KTS4:

It just isn't getting played. I'm reaching for the Martin 0, which doesn't have any problems, and my ohanas. Of course the Kamakas are getting a lot of play as well.

I'm thinking it should be priced in the $450 range with a hardcase. It is absolutely in as-new condition.

If there's interest I'll get some better pics.

Thanks

Kind of surprised the SK-35 stays and the Kiwaya KTS-4 goes.

It is surprising, isn't it. I'm surprised myself. But I've always thought of the KTS4 as a modern Martin. Everybody always says, "it's like a vintage instrument without any of the issues." And that's true, except that my 1948 Martin 0 has no issues. It's perfect. So, I'm finding that I'm just playing the Martin--which is why I have it in the first place.

And the Ohana is another sound entirely, and it's one I've always loved.

So that's my thinking.

It makes sense to me!

That's makes sense to me, too. Keep what you like and play.

Anyways, You have nice deal for someone who is looking for a KTS-4.
