As I said about other recent sales, I'm thinning the herd now that I'm making my own. When I set out to build ukuleles, I acquired several excellent instruments to become better acquainted with good sound and building techniques. These have served their purpose and should move on to new homes.
This gorgeous baritone was purchased from Hawaii Music Supply. It is in nearly perfect condition. The only flaw is a small dent on the edge of the fret board at the fifth fret. I tried to show this in a photo but it is hard to see. This instrument has had only slight use, as I never used it as a regular player, only to occasionally compare its sound to other instruments.
The koa is remarkably nice. There is a fine curl that gives it a nice shimmer but the real plus is the great coloring that ranges from light to dark brown with reddish highlights.
The date stamp on the heel block is April 2, 2011.
The strings are Southcoast linear (low G) tuned GCEA. It has every bit of the sound that Kamaka baritones are known for..
The Ko'olau case is included, of course.
$1000 including shipping and insurance in the lower 48. I'll ship to other destinations if agreeable arrangements can be made.
