Hey,

I have recently discovered Bruko and fallen in love with their design. I am interesting in buying one for the lowest possible price - the range of $100 - $200.

Let me know if anyone has something available!

Thanks

I believe coolkayaker1 has one for sale on ebay right now. Saw it the other day when I was browsing around.

Aquadan's right. Just PM me if you're interested, Scott, and I'll reduce the price to give you everything I would have paid in eBay fees (which is about 10%). Cheers.

I could offer you this Brüko. It is a custom, thinbody with pick up.

I changed the tuners to Grover geared tuners:

Beautiful wood:

I've sent you a PM

I never heard from original poster, so, a UU friend contacted me and mine is now sold.

Lokilaneify's looks to be available for the original poster at this time.

I recieved some PMs from interested people but scottchapman didn't yet answer.
I wait 2 days and then I will sell the instrument to another person.

I made a soundsample (quick an dirty), a comparison between my Kiwaya and this Brueko.

I live in Switzerland, so the shippingcosts from Europe to USA are 40$ , I would sell the instrument 240$ all included

Look for serial and custom models at the hompage of Brüko is: http://brueko.de/

Woods are: Plum body, ash tree neck, ebony freatbaord and bridge

It is sold, thanks all interests

They come up periodically on eBay. (Not just from coolkayaker1

Just FYI, there appears to be a mahogany & maple listed there now (soprano). I just do a search on "bruko ukulele" every once in a while to see what turns up.

A Brueko ukulele with a mahagony body and maple neck (model 5 or 6) is the standard serial model. There are many custom models in special beautiflul woods, also thin body with a rounded backside is a variation (as my model has got)

Hey everyone,

Thanks a lot for all of your responses. I'm sorry for my delayed response, but I hope I have gotten back to everyone personally about their very generous offers.

Thanks again - this seems to be a very friendly community.

Scott
