Sold
Up for sale is a fine Black Bear sopranino built in October of 2012. It has a European spruce top and salvaged Brazilian rosewood back/sides that came off an old parlor guitar. This is a cool little uke and it has a lot of sound for the size. It’s in excellent condition overall and just has some light strum marks on the top that don’t photograph well (they blend in too well with the spruce top). The neck is Spanish cedar -reinforced with a graphite rod with a Brazilian rosewood peghead overlay and a rosewood fretboard, tuners are Grover frictions in gold. The Bindings are ivoroid and it has a nice herringbone strip down the back and heel.
The scale is 11-1/2” long and I have it tuned to D (up a full step from standard tuning) with Worth clear soprano strings. It really sounds great and I’m only selling because I just don’t play it enough to justify keeping it any more. If you’re looking for a nice travel uke that has some serious bark then this is the one for you! It comes with a hardshell sopranino case that fits perfectly.
Please PM me with any questions, thanks!

Brazilian Rosewood! That's not something you see everyday. If it were a tenor size I'd be all over this. Specialk is a great seller. Buy with 100% confidence.
 
Thanks for the endorsement Jon! I'm not looking forward to selling this one but I thought I would post it in case someone happens to be looking for something fun.
