Selling due to being surplus to requirements. I have too many instruments and I don't play this one anymore!

Neat! Can you give some more details? Scale length? Woods? Strings? Tuning? Sound sample? Any ballpark estimate on price?

Scale length is 55cm.
Tuning I'm currently using is standard cuatro tuning: A D F# B (with the standard low B). Of course you can replace the highest string and tune it to standard Baritone ukulele tuning.
I had idea of the woods. According to their website: "Nato Top, Basswood Back and Sides, Nato Fingerboard and Bridge".
Here's a sound sample I recorded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0sbhv1WzjY

As for the price... make me an offer. It was not a super expensive instrument as you can see from the above website.
Happy to combine postage with the tanbur I'm also selling (see other thread).

 
Thanks. Longer scale than I like to deal with and wouldn't be worth shipping to US. Looks like a good way for someone to get into cuatro tuning though.

Good luck with the sale.
 
Perhaps I should add, this is how the cuatro is traditionally played, with a fast percussive strumming style (hence me trying to show this in my video also):
