FS: Maui Music concert (Pre-fire) SOLD
SOLD: Maui Music concert. It's a dream. No scratches, no dings, no strum marks, no issues. Really a sweet playing instrument. Hard to believe, but it is MINT (excellent) condition. Looks like it is just out of Peter Lieberman’s shop.
When I bought it was stated as built in 1997, but based on the serial number, SN:8-12388, I believe it is the 123 piece, built in August 1988. If you can shed any light on this, please let me know. It is a pre-fire instrument. Interestingly, it also has a radiused fretboard. The few Maui Music ukes from that time period that I have seen have flat fretboards.
Here’s the features:
• Koa body, with nice figure on top and back
• Mahogany neck,
• Koa bridge
• bone nut and saddle
• original friction tuners
• rosewood radiused fretboard
• paua top markers at 5, 7, 10
white side markers at 5, 7, 10
• 12-frets to the body, 16 total
• 15-Inch concert scale
It is incredibly light weight. It’s LOUD, really LOUD. Puts many of my tenors to shame. It has a bright ukulele sound. But it also has depth of tone too. Listen to a sample with Nyltech strings

I’m selling it because I just prefer playing my other ukes, and this uke is also a little bright for me. So, time to send this to someone else.
These older Maui Music instruments don’t come up too often, and one in this Mint condition almost never. This comes with a chipboard case (probably original to when it was purchased).
SOLD.
