Banjo Uke Native New Zealand Timbers

DPO · Feb 15, 2013

Made in 99% New Zealand timbers. Body is a block construction using Rimu. Neck is a laminate of Rimu and Rata. Fretboard is Rata with Sycamore position markers. Headstock and heel cap are Sycamore, end cap is alternating segments of Rata and Sycamore. Body hardware is Canadian from Rickard Banjos and is top quality. Tension hoop is hand made in Czechoslovakia. Long neck concert scale.
I realize that as a relative unknown I can not achieve the prices of others, accordingly I have priced this at $600.00 plus shipping. Will ship to most international destinations.

That's gorgeous. I had never heard of Rimu or Rata. Very nice. Good luck with them.

Thanks, the Rimu is a really nice timber and the Rata is really hard on tools. they don't call it ironwood for nothing

Thanks, unfortunately I don't have a sound sample, but I obviously need to learn how to create one. Not that my playing is up to much

OK I need this sold to finance the next build so if anyone is interested feel free to PM me with an offer.

That is so stunningly gorgeous...what is the exact scale length?
I"m afraid the shipping cost will prohibit me from making an offer. Having said that, how much to ship it to New Jersey zip code 08012 in the USA?
Beautiful job, Richard!

Hi Richard, scale length is 14 3/4 inches. Pay the asking price and I will ship for free. (About $75 -80 US)

I'm a beginner player, so please excuse if this is a stupid question, but are they geared or friction tuners?

I'd love to hear a sound sample too

. Do you have a video camera? It's easy to upload videos onto youtube

You could set up a free account with www.mediafire.com and upload the file there, then you could share the link here

Hi Emma, they are friction tuners, but they hold very well.
I don't have a video camera, but I'm sure someone will come along with advise on how to post the sound file.
Thanks for your interest.

Thanks Dennis

www.mediafire.com should work fine for just uploading the audio. Or if you have an account on youtube you can make a photo slideshow with audio, by adding the photos of your banjo uke and adding the sound file.

This page explains how to make the photo slideshow:
