Here's the story/saga on this one:
I owned an Hamano. I loved it. I sold it to upgrade to a Favilla. I didn't connect with the Favilla, so I sold it and bought another Hamano (the one for sale tonight). Meanwhile, I had a shot at a Timms 0, so I took it. I sold this Hamano to a student. I ran into this student not long ago, and she told me the Hamano had sat in her room, unplayed, all year. So I bought it back from her.
It just seems a shame that this (or any uke, really) should go unplaced and unplayed.
So I cleaned out all the dust bunnies, restrung it with some Southcoast mediums, and found a gig bag for it. Now it could be yours!
Here are the specs:
Solid mahogany top, back and sides
Rosewood fretboard
Friction tuners
Bone nut and saddle
Southcoast medium strings
Attitude gig bag
It has low action and a great old-timey bark. Honestly, I have no idea why we don't see more of them in the states.

And here's a sound sample: https://soundcloud.com/user92796094/hamano-h-100
And here's the link to my first, other Hamano sale: http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?63305-FS-Hamano-H100-Soprano&highlight=Hamano+h-100
$175 gets this shipped to your door CONUS. International buyers: PM me and we'll discuss shipping.
Cheers.
