OK, somebody out there is sitting (not literally, please) on an old Favilla Teardrop. This is my "dream uke".
It does not have to be perfect or pretty. It can be scratched and dented, but functional. Cracks are OK if they are not toooo long, but separating soundboards or messed up necks would make me sad. I can glue on a bridge if I have to, or replace a tuner.
It may be sitting in your closet gathering dust while you play your shiny new Mainland or Martin or KoAloha or whatever. It is lonely and it needs someone to love it. That person is me.
I can probably pay around $150. Yes, I know, that is not enough, but its what I've got to spend. Poverty stinks.
If you own this elusive instrument, and you want someone to have it that will play it and really love it - contact me.
I might be persuaded to trade my Marca Aquila soprano for a Teardrop. The Marca Aquila is a fine instrument and very old. Made in about 1910. Nice voice on it, soft and sweet. It would hurt me to part with it - but for a Teardrop, I might.
So, however unlikely, I cast my wish here to the wind. Can you help me?
