WTB: 8-string ukulele

kekebur · Oct 9, 2011

Hey everyone
I am looking for an 8-string ukulele for around 300$, something like Lanikai O-8E. would be cool if it was a acoustic/electric ukulele. I live in Poland and there are no shops with ukuleles here. moreover international shipping from most of the online stores is like $60-100 which is way to much.
If you happen to have one for sale, let me know please !

Hopefully you can find one locally. I once shipped a soprano to England and it cost me $60 for materials and shipping.

Hello!

What about trying the Southern Ukulele Store in the UK?

http://www.southernukulelestore.co.uk/

They have some 8-strings on their website (although some are out of stock).

The shipping might be more reasonable within Europe and I think if you buy from within the EU you will not have to pay Import Duty / Tax (that's how it is in the UK, I'm not certain about Poland, but worth looking into).

Good luck with your search

In that price range, I'd get the O8 E with the solid spruce top....they really "sing."

thanks for all the answers

seems like most 8 strings ukes in Southern Ukulele Store are out of stock + in pounds its even more expensive than getting one from America and paying for the shipping ^^ will keep my eyes open on that store though.

Aye, I was mainly thinking about O8 E, would be great if someone was selling one within Europe, or used one from other continents so it might be cheaper

Hi kekebur

Have you looked at Thomann in Germany?
They have reasonable shipping. I've found that custom duty from the US (to UK) can add almost 1/3 to the price

I've got away without being asked for duty on some items, but never on a ukulele-sized parcel.

They also have a Lanikai 8-string with a pickup.

There's also one on SUS's ebay listings

Postage to Poland is £19.50
