Hello, all!
In 2009, I had to let go of my custom made, slanted headstock, mango Kanilea tenor ukulele. A member here bought it from me and became a friend when my wife lost her job, then had our son a week later, and then shortly thereafter she was diagnosed with cancer. That combination knocked us off our feet and many of you expressed kind thought to me back then, so thank you! I needed the money and it was a casualty of the times, sadly.
Well my heart was broken and I always hoped to see the uke, which was named Ferdinand, again. The buyer sold it himself, and I believe that his buyer also sold it, so now it is in the hands of at least owner #4, though I do not know who that is. Even if I find him or her, she may not want to sell it, and I'm still a little hard up for enough cash, probably.
It last sold in late 2011 on the forums here, for around $800. It had a mango body and top, ebony fretboard, slanted "fender style" headstock, mahogany neck, black top binding, and anthracite dark grey Grover guitar-style tuners. I miss it and even if I just knew what had happened to it that would be ok, too. I just hope that someone on here may know where it is, and I do dream of owning it again someday. With three owners since me, it's like it is still wandering, too!
Anyone?
Thank you! - Zak
