Good Afternoon, UU. After a few weeks of deliberation — seven, in case anyone really wants to know — I've decided to sell my Pono Baritone Nui. I thought I had UAS pretty much figured until these came around, and although it gave my Favilla baritone a good run for its money, I think (read...

A couple more shots: And the gig bag:

Aloha, UU! Happy 2017 to all. For your consideration I offer my Kala tenor guitar: It's a fun instrument in excellent shape, but I reach for my Favilla baritone more often, and my wife doesn't particularly care for the steel string sound. So... Here are the specs: Solid spruce top...

Here are some more pics, including the obligatory UU one: It's worth mentioning that the uke is in excellent condition -- no scratches, dings, blemishes, etc. The gloss finish is super hard and very smooth, so I imagine this uke has the potential to stay pretty for a long, long time.

Aloha, UU. Up for trade is my 2010 Kepasa Madeira, (#074), built by Kevin Crossett in Middlesex, VT. (His site is worth checking out for the eye candy and his thoughts on building: http://kepasaukulele.com/soprano.htm) This soprano has a mahogany body, a Spanish cedar neck, ebony fretboard...

A couple more pics: And here's the UU pic:

I purchased this a while back to take its measurements to use in my own sopranino build. I've got the numbers, so it's time to pass this little guy on. This is a little dynamo of a uke: what it lacks in size it makes up for in pluck (second pun of the night -- alright!). It's solid mahogany...

After much fretting about -- pun! -- I've decided to sell my simple and beautiful Kiwaya KS-1. It's Kiwaya's basic model, but its build and its tone belies its name. It's clean and light and well balanced, its note separation is excellent, and it has bark if you want it. Really, it's...

I picked up an SK-21 on the marketplace a while back, and I'm impressed with the range of tunings this little guy will accept, so here's a quick take of the same sample in C, D, and E. (No capo necessary; the scale is short enough that, even at E, the tension doesn't feel that tight. The strings...

Here are a few pics re: craftsmanship: In case it isn't obvious: the workmanship is awesome.

Best pre-blizzard purchase ever! This little guy is a 2010 small-bodied soprano made by VT luthier Kevin Crossett: http://kepasaukulele.com/soprano.htm It's solid mahogany throughout with considerably more bling than I'm used to. A bunch of cool things to note: This uke has a 14" scale...

I have no horse in this race, but this strikes me as a pretty sweet deal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Augustino-LoPrinzi-Model-A-Mahogany-Tenor-Ukulele-with-case-/141558028602?ssPageName=ADME:SS:SS:US:3160 I had the mahogany version of this way back when, and it was a great player, really cleanly...

And here are a couple more: I also forgot to mention: the uke is strung with Southcoast re-entrants, which sound fantastic -- I highly recommend giving them a shot. This uke also comes with a padded gig bag. Cheers.
