hello folks
I am offering for sale something of a rare bird, a
Southcoast cedar/mahogany 17" (tenor scale) concert ukulele.
Southcoast originally began as an ukulele and guitar building company in New Orleans, Louisiana
and w/ the much loved and missed Dirk Wormhoudt at the helm, evolved into string specialists.
Many of you will remember Dirk and his encyclopaedic knowledge from his sometime posts here.
It is nigh impossible to find one of their ukuleles for sale these days. All their ukes
were built to long scale specs as Dirk firmly believed they made for sweeter sounding instruments.
This instrument was built in April 2010 and I am the second owner.
Cedar top
Mahogany body, neck
Rosewood fretboard, headplate, pickguard, heelcap and bridge
Bone nut and saddle
Side fret markers at 3, 5, 7, 10 and 12
Peghed geared tuners
Pick-up installed
The uke is in excellent condition. It has been played a lot
and so there is some playwear on the top, light scratches,
the beginnings of some finish crazing impossible to photograph
and there is also a tiny nick out of the soundhole which is visible though minor.
The instrument is currently strung Low G and has a warm, full and smooth,
mellow tone. It sounds lovely acoustic or amplified. It is a concert model though the
body size is somewhere between a typical soprano and concert.
I wasn't able to negotiate the way to post pictures in the thread and so
I made this little demo clip below, featuring a number of photographs taken today
and a short sound sample also recorded today.
The instrument will not come w/ a case though it will be packed w/ extreme care
and fully padded so as to prevent movement during shipping. I have bought and sold
many ukuleles on the board here since 2010, most under my old user name of Eugene Ukulele
as some members around back then could attest to.
As I am in the process of moving house, I am downsizing and scaling many aspects of my life
over these months looking forward and consequently have decided to sell a number
of my instruments. Stay tuned as i'll be offering more quality ukes for sale in coming weeks.
Any questions, more photos etc you can either message me,
post here on the board or email me here:

$700 + $75 shipping (I will pay the balance in postage or refund the balance if it is cheaper than $75)
NOW REDUCED TO $500!!!!
thanks and cheers all!
