one issue:
the uke has a dish on the back, at the base around the seam. Does not effect playablity or tone but I mention it in interests of full disclosure. The instrument is in otherwise mint condition. Photos to follow in next post to show this. It is impossible to photograph, but I'll use pen marks to highlight the area.
sound sample:
tone:
macadamia has mahogany like tonal properties, and great volume accentuated by the spruce top. However it is not a bright sounding uke, rather it is very warm and mellow with wonderful resonance
I still have the original packing materials, it will be packaged with extreme care and fully insured. please PM or post here with any other questions, more pics etc. paypal only please. Thanks for looking everyone!
