Anybody else noticing these popping up with some frequency nowadays for super cheap?
And for anybody who doesn't know this already, the Lanikai Lk series was made for them by Kanile'a for a while until they decided to work on their own brand. They're basically K-1's with an older bracing pattern.
It seems like whatever unsold stockpile of scratch and dents are getting liquidated. Some incredible deals to be had for the vigilant. (and who amongst us doesn't have an Ebay ukulele saved search that they don't check daily or even hourly....) And I don't think there were a heck of a lot of them made to begin with.
I wasn't even particularly in the market for another soprano, but I just couldn't pass one up for a mere $200. And with the 25% Livesearch cashback deal that's fifty off of that.
Ultimately I end up with a Kanile'a made soprano uke with a little finish crack and a "D" scratched on the top of the headstock for $150. It's insanity. I mean, if an instrument doesn't get a few dings and dents in it over time it just means you're not playing it enough.
Right now there's a Super Concert with a "buy it now" of $275. Livesearch cashback and it's close to two hundred bucks. Scratch and dent and no case, but dang that's a great deal for what you actually get.
