New Kiwaya KTS-4 availabilty

[Calbrit]

I've been trying to find a new Kiwaya KTS-4 from any US retailer but have not yet tracked one down. Everywhere I have looked seems to be sold out. If anyone knows where one might be please let me know.

Thanks all.

Less than an hour before you posted, there was an excellent one for sale at a really good price. You might contact C America if you are interested:

I had to buy my Kiwaya soprano from the UK. I bought a KTS-7 from Matt Stead at The Uke Room. I received it in 5 days!

Wow! They're that scarce? Did you have to pay Customs Duty and Sales Tax on top?

Yes, I did have to pay customs duty that was quite a surprise to me. I got a bill from FedEx about three weeks later. I did not pay sales tax but I did pay for shipping. So there was definitely a premium but the Kiwaya KTS-7 was more than worth it to me. I did get a nice discount from Matt Stead at The Uke Room to offset most of that cost.

Thanks for responding. I'm glad you are happy with that Ukulele. Maybe like a lot of things, Covid has reduced Kiwaya's output.
