I've always wanted to try a Collings, and that's such a unique one. But I have no $$. Best of luck with your sale!

That's a stunner for sure, Jon. If I was looking to get a new concert..........:drool:

I thought the mystery man would be all over this

Good luck with the sale. I admire the pairing down. I have cheaper ukes and I would love to cash them in on one really nice one.

mattydee · Dec 3, 2012

oh, my.

i really want this, but do not have the cash, and have a custom concert being built right now. if eithter of those was not the case, i would be all. over. this.

good luck, jon. man, o man. the mojo alone is worth the asking price.

Wow!

You're selling the white Collings! One of the most beautiful ukes I've seen and heard. I loved the videos you made with it, super classy. Wish I could afford it.

Gosh Jon, I remember the story of how you received this uke and it breaks my heart for you that you have to sell it. I truly hope that your financial conditions improve. You don't deserve to be going through this.

yeah Scott, it was a beautiful thing mum and dad did for me. they are fine about it...no sob story but we've had two big changes in the household in the last couple of months...our daughter has moved from home schooling out into the wider world for high school and we're trying to send her to the best one we can afford. also, health allowing I'm returning to study next February...so neither of these things are cheap and if I can sell these three ukes then it'll go a long way to covering these costs in 2013.

anyway folks, to return to regular programming, this really is a wonderful instrument...a pocket sized jazz box with a gorgeous, smooth and warm voice. Hopefully there's someone out there with the funds and inclination to buy it.

Now let me sob just a little bit. You know, because I can't afford to buy it. Good luck with the sale.

price drop: 1600 and I will pay shipping/insurance.

This uke will cost me around 120 dollars to ship and insure overseas. I can't really do a better deal than this sorry. Thanks again all.
