Hello everyone I recently acquired this Koaloha soprano uke from a friend who no longer plays and it is a beauty! According to the stamp on the inside it was made in March of 2002. It is all koa body and fretboard, ebony nut and saddle, black hard case, white friction tuners with logo and I believe the neck is also koa, however I am not 100% sure on that. The instrument has a beautiful koa one piece top and back and definitely has the Koaloha sound! The main reason I am looking to pass it on is my hands are too large for soprano ukes. The ukulele does have an issue with the nut slots (too low and wide) this causes the action to be too low at the nut and buzz when played with moderate force. Because I tried the paper in the slot and it fixed it, I believe this problem could be solved with either filling the slots and refilling or replacing the nut. There are two other cosmetic issues: at the end of the neck there is a small 1/4 inch spot where the binding has separated from the fretboard. Also around the 7th and 8th frets the side of the neck and the fretboard, closest to the player have a few marks on it. Ever since I received the uke last week I have kept it with an oasis humidifier which I can also include.
I know I have been long winded, but I just wanted to be thorough with the condition. My last intention is to try to trick anyone here. Right now I just do not have the time to do any work on the ukulele myself.
Now as far as price for sale I will do $330 shipped to CONUS. I am also open to trades for a nice tenor uke, or maybe a concert of similar value. I am located in Las Vegas, NV.
