FS - 2019 COLLINGS Concert UC-1K

SOLD

I am the original owner of this beautiful Collings Koa concert ukulele. I purchased it new from The Music Emporium in Massachusetts on 10/28/2019 for $1950.00.

Although Collings had stopped making ukuleles a few years ago, they have recently released a few ukuleles. This is one of those new releases.

It is in pretty much mint condition since I don

Hi UkeUp,

That looks like a very fine instrument. Could you please fill in a few of the details about it?

I can't see the faceplate on the headstock. Is it ebony?
Are the fretboard and bridge ebony as well?
I can't tell from the photos if the finish is satin or matte. Is the neck mahogany and with the same finish?

Thanks

I'm not the OP, but here are the specs on the Music Emporium website:

That's a beauty, as are all Collings ukes. I also have a koa concert - great looks and great sound. Is that a Collings case?

Yes, it is a Collings case, made by Ameritage for Collings.

great price. wish i could buy it.

Excellent price for a highly sought after instrument.

If I played concert I'd be seriously interested. Someone's going to get a terrific instrument.

A great ukulele, going to a lucky buyer!
