Piggybacking on this old, old post as it popped up in a search as I tried to help another local MN player.

"Friended" a couple fellow MN peeps here, hope you don't mind!

Your seller Corey is local player/collector/uke aficionado here in the Twin Cities. He is a fabulous guy, wonderful musician.

Here's his YouTube channel and his recent homage to the Swedes and...

What are the chances that two Philly educated boys would have both a Pokahu and a 100 year old Weymann?
I still miss the Weymann, but am glad Chris has it.
And that I didn't have to be the one...

Loren of Florida, I am duly impressed.
You are WAY more persevering than me!
This was fun to read.
Can't wait to hear how you do with a decent soprano. ;^)

EDIT: What the heck? My whole post just disappeared.
Is the website breaking?

I only meant to agree with Ziret.
A cheap playable soprano is lovely, and I...

I am recollecting that this may be the builder of a favorite uke of world class player Remco Houtman-Janssen (Belgium) aka Ukulelezaza. Does anyone know?

Holy moly, what a looker!

OK, I gotta ask: do you own only one or two ukes at a time?
Some great ones in that list!

Teri,
What a nice line up you have. Fun to see how it's changed over time.

My KTS-7 ended up with an excellent player in PA who is doing wonderful things with it. (I think a KTS-6 with UPT's...

Thx!
These all do set-up before the instrument goes out the door?

Thanks to all responders so far!
Where can I get a list of specific ukulele specialists that will set up an instrument?

Mim
HMS
Who else?

That's in beautiful shape. Score!!

I received the following message for advice from a friend whose non-profit (teaching music to kids in war-torn countries) is currently sidelined by the pandemic.
In the meantime, she is teaching...

It doesn't get much better, IMO!
There are enough vintage Martin's at GC that anyone interested should keep their eyes open.
I expect prices to compete and fall there.

Of the several Ohanas that have passed through my hands, the rosewood and spruce satin sop was my favorite. What an incredible sound! Congrats!

I love the win-win here!

Cool-o, Teri.
Which ukes to you own now?

This. If your luthier knows what he's doing it will be fine.
You just wanna play the thing! :)

Oh, Vic. I didn't realize this was you.
You have certainly already had vintage Martins come through your playing hands!

As much as this line appealed to me (I was the one who made that other post), if you're going to buy a soprano I would just go for a vintage Martin.
There's so many out there, for the money they...

Wow, thx for picking up my post again, John!
I'm jealous you found a used one.
Really fun to hear it.

I almost bought one of those prototypes... but I couldn't find a review or a sound sample...

He's incredible.

So, I imagine this kid could play any uke he wanted in the world
And he's playing an Enya... has he a contract with them?

Wonderful uke.
Seems this one has had all the work done that resolves my problems with the one I had.
I couldn't bear to change the original, yet I couldn't stand those wooden tuners.
Like mine,...

This must be the origins of the flamey koa on mine!
Thanks so very much for your post.
I'm a member but don't keep track of stuff on FB groups.

Yes, edited, thanks so much. Had my people mixed up!

I'm curious if anyone here on UU nabbed the '97 Island Koa sop that sat at Gryphon for a little while, now sold. Built and signed by the esteemed Peter Howlett.

They didn't realize what they...
