And now, the hardest sale, by far. I also will not be devastated if this does not sell, and that is why I am pricing it as it is--only about 10 percent off the price I paid for.
Behold, an amazing Barron River curly grade Blackwood Soprano. The block fret markers are made from recycled Giant Sequoia. The neck is sapele. I can’t tell you how amazing this uke sounds--I previously described this as what a Kamaka would sound like if it was on steroids and perfect (no disrespect to Kamaka--I love mine).
Why am I selling this? The primary reason--I don’t love the neck!! These are 1 and a half inches (it might be in cm, so sorry if this is not 100 percent accurate), and I so much prefer necks a bit slimmer and 1 3/8. That might not sound like any difference, but it does notice a difference when I am playing this a lot. A friend of mine observed the same thing, so this is not just me.
If you are interested in this, I would love to play it for you via zoom. You will just be blown away. Also, while this is NOT his master grade Blackwood (an upgrade to curly only), I think it is at least as nice as some of his master grade wood. It might not be as curly as some of them, but the red and orange hues in this wood are amazing. It is some of the most lovely wood I have seen. If I do sell most of my ukes that I have listed or soon will list, I might get another similar uke from Barron River but with my perfect neck. This has Gotoh planetary tuners. The block fret markers are an upgrade as well. I think the rossetti on this one is just out of this world. It also has the clear mylar pickguards for protecting the amazing wood. This is in perfect , as sew condition. Check out this picture from facebook. https://www.facebook.com/BarronRiverUkuleles/photos/a.348266352034777/2078429355685126/
The price is $1750, with a hard case and shipped within the COUS. For a variety of reasons, I do not accept paypal anymore, and so would need a personal check or a bank check, or zelle. If this makes you edgy, I would gladly give you my professional websites and such--I am a pretty public dude (college professor, author of many books, have a coaching practice), so I am not going to mess with you for this amount of money. You will have my fall identity before you consider buying this! I also have had many positive transitions here that you can search for. My guess is a couple of people I have traded with and sold here will soon respond to this thread in one way or another, lol. No sound samples, but glad to show you and play over Zoom!
PM me and we can discuss this.
