Handmade Style O ukelele in soprano size by Ken Timms in the UK. This instrument I had read about on the forums here and I contacted Ken about purchasing one. I have had this uke for a little over 2 months and I am amazed at the quality of build and the attention to materials. Solid one piece front and arched back with ebony nut and saddle. I replaced the Aquila's with a Mya Moe fluorocarbon set which gave a better articulation throughout the scale. Sonically the uke is amazing with a wonderful volume with bell like highs and clear lows. I bought based on the hype and it clearly delivered...if not more. My reason for selling is that I am still struggling with the soprano scale in terms of the fretboard as I have fat stubbies for appendages. This is a wonderful standard uke for anyone wanting quality and value. I am selling for 475.00 including shipping to the continental 48 and any other locations the shipping would be additional. The uke does not come with a case but it will be packed quite well. I will attach the text from Kens ebay site which describes in his words this particular uke. I will post on ebay by mid week but wanted to give the underground the heads up and keep it in house My direct email to go to my phone or computer when I am not online is patntam@verizon.net
