I would like sell my DaSilva 3K replica soprano uke (#243). This uke is light as a feather, impeccably made with incredible materials, and it plays like butter. The sound is very vintage and very soprano, perfect for Tin Pan Alley style playing and the sort. Physically, the uke is in excellent condition although it does have some light strum marks on the soundboard. Also, there is some bellying/dishing of the soundboard adjacent to the bridge. It doesn't affect the tone, and the bridge is level. I have discussed this with Mike and he said it is not of concern, as he builds his instruments very light.
Specs include curly koa top, back, and sides, ebony fretboard, ivoroid binding, and Peghed tuners. Full specs are described at: http://www.ukemaker.com/images/UkeGallery/243-S3K.jpg
I am located in north-central Florida. Reduced price: asking $1200 shipped within conUS. The uke will come with its DaSilva-exclusive fiberglass case. I've read here on the forum that a new DaSilva 3K costs $2,500 to commission, so I hope this uke will make someone very happy at a lower cost.
These are brand new pics, along with a video. I'm also including a picture of the "dishing". Feel free to PM questions. Thanks!
