This uke has been sold.

This is an excellent Riggio tenor ukulele, purchased from HMS last year. It is all koa with ivoroid top binding, black/white rosette, rosewood pin bridge/fretboard. Bone nut and saddle. Grover geared tuners. Nitro-gloss finish, semi-open pore. This ukulele is in excellent condition, not even any strum marks. It plays so smoothly and has a wonderful warm sound while retaining higher note clarity. Action is low and easy. Superb construction. Phil Riggio worked at Kanile'a before beginning his own shop. I am only selling as I am looking at a custom tenor purchase. If you want a lovely traditional Koa sounding Hawaiian style uke, this is a great choice. Includes Oahu hard case. Shipping extra. More pics provided on request. Sound sample: https://www.box.com/s/e46f4c66d4cd87a598ae

Price: $675 plus shipping.

Riggio's work is great!
This is a great deal. I am waiting for a Mya-Moe koa, otherwise I'd be on this one.

Best of luck with the sale and Uke on!
 
That is beautiful. Where in NC are you?
 
Beautiful uke Craig. I've heard lots of good things about Riggio ukuleles.

That is a great price for a like-new Hawaiian made koa custom tenor!
 
Aaron of HMS often posts videos of new instruments for sale. He did a video of my Riggio tenor and you can get his opinion of the uke I'm selling:

Thanks for the PM Craig. I was pretty much settled on a Loprinzi cherry, but giving this one a second look...Give me a call so we can talk about it.

Thanks
