Maton Tenor Ukulele
This is an all solid Victorian blackwood tenor ukulele, plus hard case. It’s about 1 year old. I am all about baritones these days, so I am letting this one go to a good home.
The good: It plays beautifully, does what it ought to from a musical point of view, and everything works as it should mechanically (it was professionally set up). The Victorian blackwood is gorgeous, in my opinion, and is still in good condition.
The less good: There are some minor usage marks, although none that I could get close enough to photograph. For example, the finish is slightly shiny from where the playing hand naturally brushes the surface. There are some very minor marks on the slotted bridge from changing strings and also some very small marks on the body itself.
I’m asking for $500AU ($355 US), not including postage (I’m based in Australia).
I generally play it with 2x wound strings and 2x Worth Browns, because I like a warmer sound. But the G slots at the nut and bridge are still set up narrow for a re-entrant G-String.
The general specs are here on the Maton website (although, please note that my ukulele does NOT have a pickup installed).
