Selling my 20's era Made In Chicago SAM MOS Soprano Ukulele. It is in all original condition, original White Plastic Friction Tuners, Figured Mahogany Body, Original Vintage Hardshell. The finish is in great shape, scuffs, minor finish checking here and there.

I bought this b/c it sounded just like John King's ukulele when I played it! The sound that John gets on his recordings this ukulele nails! The bridge is coming up, it's been that way since I bought it, holds tune great. Was always going to have it repaired. Just got a new car so need to move some stuff.

SOLD

Maybe I'm just ignorant, but what does SAM and MOS stand for?
Sound sample would be nice...
Cheers!

I don't really have the ability to do a sound sample right now, that is to really capture the sound. This clip of John King playing is what made me snag this ukulele, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=935ExOpT5bI, this uke sounds so so so close to this. I've primarily been playing it while going through John's books.

I'm replying to all my PM's right now, for everyone waiting
