For Sale: Martin Style 2, Bruce & Sons Tenor, Hollywood Concert, Kiwaya KTS-4 Soprano

All sold. Thank you. Closing thread. Here are (3) wonderful ukuleles up for sale. I am selling my collection and keeping only one—as I am looking to order a custom guitar. These all come from a non-smoking, humidified environment. All are in excellent condition in term of cosmetic and playability—I’ve enjoyed each and everyone in heavy rotation. Detailed photos are in the Google images links below. Please PM me with any questions.

Hollywood concert (Schireson Bros.) (SOLD): All mahogany. Circa 1930s. Full rope bindings. Restored and setup by David Talsma—including new Gotoh UPT tuners. (Some history: https://bit.ly/2pWs2TJ) Very light build and resonant, good volume, nice warm sound. Small hairline crack was repaired on back (hard to see). Back also has a nice convex curve to it. Very nice condition as you can see by the photos. No case included, but will be double boxed and insured when shipped. PayPal and Shipping (Con. US) included.

Martin Style 2 soprano (SOLD): 1940s/50s. No cracks or repairs—only small marks and blemishes due to wear (see photos). In very nice condition—I am the 2nd owner. Comes with Crossrock hard case. Sounds and plays as you would expect from a vintage Martin soprano. Small surface scratch near sound hole & small mark on the back of neck near the body (see photos). PayPal and Shipping (Con. US) included.

Video of the Bruce and Sons would be great
 
Someone needs to snatch that Hollywood!! Not many of them floating around!

Agreed. You rarely see those. And wow, such great condition.
 
The Martin and Kiwaya sopranos are now sold and going to good homes. Thank you.
 
Got the Kiwaya yesterday, it’s wonderful! Came safely packaged and in great condition (still in tune!) Great seller, wouldn’t hesitate to buy from again
 
That is a great price. There was another Hollywood on eBay that just went for a lot more $. It was a different style, but these are highly regarded and pretty rare.
 
Hollywood concert now sold and going to a good home. One remaining tenor—which is a great value IMHO.
