Hello all,
Selling my Barron River baritone uke. It's got a pretty unique sitka spruce top that was carbon dated to 2850 years old. There are amazing pics of it on the Barron River site, here, and then lots of pics of Allen building it here.
In addition to the ancient sitka top, it has honduras rosewood back and sides and figured jarrah bindings. You can see from the photos the beautiful art deco touches in the rosette and the tuners. It includes the hard case, which is a flat topped Rockwood case. I've got it strung with Southcoast medium gauge smooth wound in B-flat, and it sounds great. The spruce and the rosewood are a classic match for a reason! Very easy to play. Just a solid instrument. I'm selling because I'm cutting back from 3 to 2 acoustic baritones and could use the funds.
One important thing to note: there is what I *think* is a small crack in the lower bout. It looks worse in the photo than it is, and I'm not even sure it's a crack, but just want to make sure to disclose fully. I noticed it after the weather had changed, but I haven't noticed any chance since. It's been in the case with an oasis humidifier at all times I'm not playing it. The price takes this into account. Other than this, there are the typical cosmetic light strum marks and one mark on the headstock from a string change. It's in excellent condition overall.
Price is $1200 shipped to the CONUS (it was over $2000 shipped from Australia when i purchased it). Payment by paypal only (I cover the paypal fees). No trades.
Thanks!
