Hate to sell, but my hand issues continue, and I really can't play sopranos effectively anymore, needing the bigger concert and tenor scales.
This uke is vintage wartime, about 1943, one of Dave's (PetalumaRescuke) rescued Martin sopranos. It was his daily player for a while. It has plenty of wear and finish crazing, repaired cracks (2 on back, one on upper side) and dings, and probably an overspray. A beat but sweet road dog. Bar frets, violin pegs were replaced with Pegheds, which work great. Small black strap pin installed on bottom. Dave does wonders with these, and this one is no exception: plays and sounds great, classic sweet Martin sop tone & bark. If you like mahogany sops, you'll love this. Nut is 35mm, string spread at nut a very generous 31mm, and action at 12th is 2.5mm. Strung with Martin M600, which sound fabulous.
No case or strap included. I don't want to make anything on this one, just regain what I have into it, and pass along the good karma I got from Dave to another UU'er, so I'm selling this for $299.00 + $20.00 shipping in CONUS only.
