cuz they're awesome!
You've got great ukes. I have a Style 2 Tenor that I love. Play yours in good health!
The market for vintage ukes is a market. The instruments are commodities at the mercy of supply and demand in the market.
But it does not hurt to lament the fact that you cannot afford a particular instrument, it happens to us all.
However, there has to be plenty of low cost used ukuleles on the planet. Mahalo produced its first ukes in 1999, 20 years ago. The old ukes are out there, you just have to find them. In the early part of the century there was a flurry of brands, a lot of them very well built and possibly going to be getting better with age now. So there is no need for despair, just change the target species. In 2020 you may start to clearly see some of these old ukes in markets and charity shops for less than $20. Take a chance and buy one and see how it goes.
Flea Market Music has a bulletin board that goes back to the late 1990s. Its a good resource to research and target a wide range of low cost vintage ukulele. Its still active as well.
The thread was started in 2014 and the last post from the originator seems to be date 2016. It would be interesting to see how the quest for a nice uke ended.
