Why am I selling? I caught the UAS early and was ‘wow-ed’ by this…. My first quality uke having started on a Fender Montecito Tenor, and an Ohana Concert. I thought I wanted the tenor scale and the wider (38+mm) nut. Turns out that I don’t need the wider nut and the longer scale isn’t as comfortable. All this is personal preference stuff because… as many others have declared… this is one SWEET instrument. Sound and appearance are better than conveyed in the HMS video. [ https://vimeo.com/255334192 ]. (video is not of this uke, although it has all the same appearances/likeness.). I’ll work on a brief sound sample and include it with any PM inquiries.

Beautiful uke!

If it doesn't sell, ask HMS about trading it in. I owned the same Romero Creations Replica Tenor as yours (but sans pickup) and HMS gave me $675 towards a Kala Koa Custom Elite.

Thanks. Good idea (as a relatively frequent customer they may be more willing!) I'm hoping a direct sale will save the buyer a few mark-up bucks that they can spend on their next UAS...

BTW, there's no pickup on this. The strap button they added kind of looks like one, and the angle of the image may have misled.

Weekend Bump. Price Reduction from $680 to $630.

That's a great price. You should stick it up on Reverb.com also. They have been selling for a good bit more than that on there. I just picked up the same one locally and it's an amazing uke. Whoever picks this up wont be disappointed.

"...Romero Creations Case from his retail outlet..."

Is this a gigbag or a hard case?

Lovely looking mahogany on this uke. Is there a sound sample you can link to?

Great deal on an excellent tenor.

Thx, "dd". I've got a number of replies from UU Members; Reverb is an option, but their fees are pretty high.

The great mahogany figure on this is one of the enticements I succumbed to!

Yes, the Romero Creations Case is one of their "Access" branded thick padded. Not as solid as the Kanelia', but pretty solid.

I'll try to add a link or pic.View attachment 126670

The case I was referring to later in the post is a Crossrock hard case.
