Gorgeous Mana ‘e Baritone Ukulele with a MiSi pickup - $2500

Luthier Dan Ryerson of Molokai, Hawaii built this gorgeous cutaway baritone ukulele. It has exquisite attention to detail in construction, aesthetics and sound!

This incredibly beautiful instrument plays like butter. It’s smooth and easy to play. The action is low, the neck feels great, and the intonation is perfect all the way up the neck.

• Spruce top
• Rosewood back and sides
• “Florentine” cutaway
• Koa rosette around sound hole
• Koa binding on body and neck
• Slotted headstock
• Honu (Sea turtle) inlay at the fifth fret
• Additional side sound hole port
• MiSi pickup


My luthier here in Texas installed the MiSi pickup and the side strap button.

This was my first experience with a side sound hole port. It’s really impressive! Kind of like having your own monitoring system. While it brings the sound toward your ears, it also increases the volume and projection of the instrument.

Dan Ryerson of Mana’e Ukuleles built the baritone (#38) in October 2009. The ‘ukulele immediately went to live with the incomparable Kimo Hussey who “played it in” until it stole my heart in Molokai in December 2010.

Upon super close inspection, there are several strum dings on the spruce top.

It comes with a fitted hard shell case.

I’m asking $2500 for this beauty. Hate to part with her but I’m focusing exclusively on tenor ukulele these days.

Would like to split shipping costs with the buyer.

If you’ve wanted an exquisite, high-end baritone, this is it!

The sound is rich and deep. Here’s a link to a video of me playing the baritone.


P.S. I bought a Fusion baritone gig bag (retail $39.95) that I will include with the sale.
 
Wow Kate - you have the most amazing instruments! This is one of the most beautiful ukes I've seen. Love the wood, love the side port, love the headstock. Hope you find a good home for it! - Mary
 
Thanks Mary! Great to hear from you.

I have been blessed with some amazing instruments the past few years. Wish I wasn't having to part with them. Since I do need to part with them, I'm hoping for good homes, too. If you have any friends who play baritone, pass the word on!
 
Mary, I noticed your playing a Black Bear today! I have a Black Bear tenor that I'll post soon. It was my main ukulele from 2003 to 2009. Have fun today!
