Awhile ago, I started a thread that I was looking for a Martin or Gibson baritone. I got in contact with a gentleman in California who is selling his dads collection of ukes. His dad was a professional musician and had played at Disneyland in the '50s and '60's among other places.
Anyway he had a Favilla baritone I was hoping to buy but the deal never got completed for reasons not important.
I was just on Ebay and see that he has put it up for sale. One of the finest I've seen. The neck has been shaved and the fretboard radiused ( I think) by his dad with the son finishing off what the dad never got the chance to finish.
Looks really nice but I bought a very pristine vintage Martin bari. he's asking a lot of bucks for it as he has for his other dad's ukes he's posted on. May be worth it as he did customize them himself as most of the old pro musicians did back then.
