a carefully de-varnished Ohana SK35, (rubbed with AAA wire wool - took a LONG time! then waxed) now a lot lighter and feeling a lot better in the hands. Looks 1960/70s, and has more 'wood' about it. Slight dip in front of the bridge but nothing you'd notice. sounds lovely, Worth Brown Mediums. A true classic, improved I'd say. £90

the narrow body narrow-neck soprano in the pic with the violin conversion (separate thread) Solid spruce top. compact and sounds interesting. £50

A solid Brazilian Rosewood 'Rustic Ukulele Company' lightweight soprano. Extremely unsymmetrical, frets are a bit out of true in places but purrs beautifully. Nice shape. £90

Flea Firefly-substitute banjo ukulele
Luke Futcher ash/cherry neck
Remo Fibreskin drum
beautiful player, far more easy on the ear than a standard banjo uke
£85.

a 'zither'-type banjo uke c. 1925, battered, squashed end, but new vellum, very heavy but compact.
plays beautifully and nice low action (the one in the chives on blog)
£55

all on the blog in link below… some in keepers section but just can't play them all.
