strumsilly
Well-known member
MP [Mike Pereira] custom tenor ukulele
The back and sides are Bubinga and the top is sinker
redwood. Fingerboard, bridge, bindings and rest of the
trim is E.Indian Rosewood and all the purflings {soundhole
neck & headstock]are Maple.
Tuners are nickle 5 Star Planetary pegs by Stewmac,[ with
the ebony knobs they are almost $100 shipped alone] 4:1
planetary gearing. will include original pearlescent knobs
number 149 with a build date of Sept. 2012.
I am the 2nd owner and the original owner must have been
quite a strummer as there are some strum marks on
the top upper bout .
I talked with Mike, and he said, "It has the same Tru-oil
finish as the Mahogany/Cedar. The difference is that I
buffed out the last few ukes I did with that finish...I
have since switched over to a UV cured Polyester finish.
It could be fixed by sanding it back down to get rid of
the effected areas, putting more finish on it then
rebuffing it."
other than that there is a small cloudy spot with a drip
coming off it on the top and a couple slight cloudy spots
on the headstock. a few minor scratches here and there.I tried to show all these imperfections
in the pics.
It came to me strung with Aquila and I put some low G
Ko'oalau Alohi with 2 wound bases on, as I like these for
fingerpicking.
This is my 2nd MP, and it is a great looking and sounding
uke. the combination of woods produces a lot of volume and
a great tone. I'll put up a Sound sample later.
comes with a nice brown HSC. I don't know the brand.
Mike must be busy as his website says he is not taking any new orders. His base tenor is now $1050, then add for the bottom binding, purfling, tuners, case. I'll sell this for $525 + actual shipping. price drop. $500shipped
I'm selling because I'm moving and I'm trying to get down to a half dozen. The close ups make the imperfections look worse than they are. If you are not 100% satisfied, money chearfully refunded - shipping fees.

the top and back are darker in real life, and the top is not blotchy, but what you are seeing in the pic is curl [ I don't know the right word] the back and sides also have it.
here's what it sounds like
