Special uke, special case.

As mentioned in other posts I'm cleaning out my storage room so selling a number of ukes. This one is a Koaloha Super Concert with a crown bridge. Bridge is perfectly glued - no gaps. I bought this from Experiment Jon here on UU last year so if you know Jon you know that it's in perfect condition. I'm selling because I have to - HAVE to make some space.

Right after I bought this uke I bought it a special case - a red Kamoa super-concert case. Has a couple tiny scuffs but it has literally never been out of the house since I bought it so it looks awesome - just like the uke!

I'm selling the combo for $1000 shipped, or $850 for the uke without a case. Prefer paypal but I'll ship worldwide.

Dang! Nice Uke! Nice Case!
 
Wow, you walk into the room with that case, you'd better be able to play a ukulele!

I'm out. Lol
 
W/o the case, this is a GREAT deal on a classic KoAloha uke! The Super-Concert is one of my prized ukes - and the case?!? WOW - just puts the whole package together.

Whether or not you think your playing meets the high bar that this uke seems to demand - the sound will blow you away! Somebody buy this thing quick! I don't "need" another one!

IF it sells w/o the awesome case... I'm in for the case... PM sent.
 
Love the uke and case but as a photographer I want to say those are excellent photo's. Always been a fan of high key, to me it accents the subject best. Great job.
 
Thanks for all the great comments guys - about the uke and the photography! I made a few more photos of the top in response to a question about whether this has any ?bellying? or sinking in the top between the bridge and soundhole. Looks fine to me but in case anyone wants to see what I can see, here it is. Certainly doesn't affect the sound if there is anything!

The bellying was a rare case that popped up on the forums and I find it funny/nonsensical/ignorant that people on here are now associating KoAloha to sinking midsection...
I need two hands to count the amount of KoAlohas I've owned from vintage to new and have never had a problem, they're amazing luthiers and stand by their craft.

This one is almost too tempting, I suppose if it's still around once my ukes sell and I don't find a Kamaka-super I'd take her... good luck

ha ha...my thoughts exactly Steve...you could just do what I do and say "I'm looking after it for a mate". Good way to lower expectations. :)

That's what I'D have to say - you have no need for such niceties Eugene. You play great!
 
Those pictures are fantastic! When I saw the nice characteristic stripe on the back, I wondered if it was the one I owned. And indeed, it was. Truly an outstanding uke. The sound was so responsive and bright with worth browns. Out of all the instruments I sold, this is probably the one that was the hardest to part with...no joke.
 
Aloha Mary,
A year ago, I would jump on this.
Now that I entered the Luthier built realm, I'm leaning more towards custom built (for me) ukes.
Good luck on your sale..................................BO................................
 
Thanks guys! It's a lovely piece of work and sounds beautiful. I'm pretty much playing my Collings and Pohaku these days so the other amazing ukes I have - and there isn't a dud in the bunch - have to find new homes.
