Mark Roberts has been praised by Eric Devine as a great luthier. ""Mark is da man! He will be the next Charles Fox." Eric Devine / Devine Guitars & Ukuleles.
That's what attracted me to his ukes. He uses a kasha bracing and produces what seems to be a spectacular instrument. What didn't attract me is the prices--for the most part, a tenor costs over $3000 with wood upgrades.
But from time to time, Mark will sell display units. This particular uke caught my eye, bc it's made of sinker redwood and some very nice myrtle. To make it even nicer, I asked Mark to send the uke to a great finisher (I don't recall exactly, but I think he sent it to someone who works with Collings or Taylor) to put on a gloss finish to make it look brand new.
I have not received the uke--I'm hoping that someone can pay me what I paid and I can have Mark send you the uke when he gets it back from the finisher.
I'm asking a bit less than I paid: with shipping (in the US) and a case, which represents something of a discount off of a new uke with all the options, which this essentially will be
