I am selling several gorgeous ukuleles for many reasons. The biggest reason is I bought Jerry’s Bean Sprout ukulele-build spot for 2020. The other reason is while I love these ukuleles, I am mostly playing the baritone and these guys sit in a humidified closet (Non-smoking house by the way).

SOLD Pono Concert with spruce top and rosewood back and sides. Same model as sold recently on the forum but with no pickup. From what I understand Pono stopped making this model. Sweet little uke. Currently, strung low G fluorocarbons. Originally these were priced at around $900 new. $550, includes shipping to lower 48.

Hoffmann Spruce Top Tenor ukulele. NOT AVAILABLE Looks like cedar but supposedly not. A real player, has strum marks, a little buckle rash and 3 tiny gouges under the bridge near the A-string hole. Still a beautiful example of Hoffmann’s workmanship. Wonderful to look at and play. UPDATE: Since there was no response, it’s at the luthier getting some love and a pickup installed.

SOLD Mya Moe Lap-Steel Tenor Ukulele #273. Zebra wood, a real looker. I had dreams to play it but no real follow through. These are kinda rare, I think. This instrument has some some glue issues of the binding on the backside, cosmetic and done by someone - not Mya Moe. My luthier says does not affect play and is stable. Extra set of strings and Steel bar. Selling for $800.

SOLD Martin 1960s Mahogany Tenor with Gotoh tuners (original tuners will be packed with it), chipboard case. Has Tortoiseshell-style binding. Beautiful with some dings, as expected for its age. Some finish checking. No cracks. Sounds wonderful and smells good. PRICE REDUCTION $775 includes PayPal fees and shipping to lower 48.

Hello, I tried to pm you, regarding the Mya Moe but your account is full and you have to delete some before it will allow incoming messages.
 
Lovely group of instruments
 
Answering some questions about the Hoffmann Tenor. https://woodstockjo.wixsite.com/mysite/hoffmann

The fretboard does not appear to be radiused. And it seems to have a flat but bit of a compensated bridge. It has a narrow neck compared to may ukuleles and I do like that very much. The narrow neck makes the non-radius fretboard easier to play, I personally think.

One thing that drove me crazy about this uke when I first got it was the strings kept slipping and the uke would go out of tune. I took it to my luthier, who was recommended by way of Aaron Kiem, he said the ukulele was not supposed to be strung like a typical tie on. Instead, you put beads on the strings and rest the beads inside the bridge cradle, with the strings wrapping around the outside curved bridge. It looks beautiful that way. I had it like that but decided to restring it again with new strings. As you can see in the pictures, I have not restrung the ukulele yet because I didn’t order more strings yet.

To the tune of Robert Johnson's They're Red Hot or Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant or Pink Anderson's Bring It On Home or John Hartford's Boogie or I Can't Tame Wild Women by Bill Boyd's Cowboy Ramblers. A lot of songs use these changes.
