Title pretty much says it all. Tenor sized ukulele made by Blackbird. Made of Ekoa: some combo of linen and bio resin.

It’s got a side sound port, which is recommended if you’re going to uke out with a low G setup. It also has a radius fretboard, which I've really liked and top dots. As configured, this would be $1862 from Blackbird new. I am asking $1500.

Condition is excellent. It has some marks from use but nothing that I would consider a scratch and definitely no dents.

Strap buttons already installed. No pickup but does come with hard case (not pictured).

Currently strung with a Fremont squeakless low G and a Thomastik-Infeld flat wound C. In case you’ve never played a Farallon, this ukulele is loud. I don’t know if it’s the Ekoa or the slightly rounded back, but this instrument can cut through noise.

I am selling because I have my sights set on a aNuenue uke. :)

I've also posted this on Reverb, which has more pictures.

It’s a nice offer. I already have the Opio version though, so it feels excessive to get that as well.
 
I have a new condition Koaloha "Special Issue" Koa tenor that I would consider trading.

Please let me know, thanks.

Yeah but isn't it time to upgrade to Koa and sell that other one? :)

I really don't want to part with it but I need something weather resistant since I only have a motorcycle and I ride everywhere rain or shine haha
 
Sold. Regarding weather resistant, I also have a Klos which I bring everywhere.
