Hi all,
Hi all,
Well it was sold... then the funds never appeared, upside is, it's available, and cost of shipping to europe insured is £48 tracked, also price dropped
as I need to re-purpose the money, usual stuff,
£700 shipped to Europe, rest of the world depends on zip/postal code area
message me for any other info
I have decided to part with this lovely custom build soprano ukulele, made by Shinji Takahashi, one of Japans top Luthiers and the from what I can gather the luthier behind some of the best well known Japanese ukes like the kiwaya master range
this one looks pretty much exactly like a Martin S5 with all the bling/bindings snowflake fret markers and squiggly mother of pearl headstock design, it's an absolute beauty, not as light as a Martin S3, but built beautifully,
The sound has great character, and is not pingy and bright, but more refined.it's all hand made by Shinji, no date stamp, but has a label that reads, fine ukuleles for your good life, T's Ukuleles, signed Shinji. T, - poduced/custom
model - CSM-5K
I have had a strap button fitted in the end of the uke, I did not have one fitted at the top as I use a piece of silk ribbon to attach the strap at the top via a clip, but wanted the security of a decent fixed button on the bottom, the button was actually from a set that has a jack plug hole, but its not connected to anything, no wiring, I did intend to have a pick up fitted, to do this you would need to remove the button by unscrewing and then solder the required wires to the end of the jack housing, I can add photos later so you can see the pin, it was all fitted properly.
looking £800
thanks Mark
