Sample Video Included

Great shape, minimal signs of play. No dents or scratches etc

This one is rich and bassy. Lots of meat and punch (look who here is perfect at describing sound) Listen to the sample, you'll see what I mean. Remember the video is just through an iPhone, but it’s enough to give you a great sample, IMO. Sounds even better in person

Let me know if you have any other questions

FAQ: “Why are you selling?”

A: “I’m selling this (insert stringed instrument here) because I have an insatiable and compulsive urge to try every ukulele (or stringed instrument) on the planet while still being able to pay my mortgage and feed and cloth my children. Many ukes I own I have done so for a brief time (generally less than a year, though I do hold on to some much longer). When I first started buying and selling often, looking for what I thought I’d eventually settle on a small batch and be happy. Years later I realize trying new stringed instruments on a consistent basis is what makes me happy and I have given up thinking that I’ll settle on a certain bunch and reach contentment. I regret many that I sell and have bought one or two back only to turn around and sell them again to buy the next one! It’s an addiction for sure, but so far, one I’ve been able to sustain without spending all my household income and putting my family in the streets”

I think if this was posted slightly sooner I might have scooped it up, but now I've got my eyes (ears?) on those lattice brace Ponos / the new 'Oli line :love::love::love:

I've purchased from @ZJS before and he's an excellent seller, highly recommend. GLWTS!

Thanks! They definitely are fun. I played one! My only gripe was the neck was a bit too chunky round (to accommodate the truss rod) for me. But they sound great 👍🏽
 
I enjoyed your playing this instrument. Wish I could play like that. Sorry, but I'm not in a position to be a buyer this time.

Thanks, lots of YouTube instructors :)
 
Now that is a good idea. I’m principally a bass player for a uke band, but am trying to learn the Hawaiian slide guitar as we always close our gigs with the song Aloha O’e. Some good lessons would help here.

Took me only about a month and a half, but... bump
 
still up for grabs
 
Don't sleep on this beauty
 
I’m horrible about keeping this on folks radars. I’m not motivated to “bump” often, but here it is :) I’m open to offers
 
Sold to me… I’m quite excited about this one!! Never owned a K brand before and I’ve had my sights set on a Koaloha for over 4 years.
Congratulations! ZJS is a good seller. I bought my favorite uke from him (Rebel Double Creme Concert mango with the most alluring wood pattern I'd ever seen).
 
Just arrived! The pictures and sound sample didn’t do this thing justice. I will type up an NUD post soon, but my first little bit of time playing this thing absolutely knocked my socks off. It’s the best sounding uke I’ve ever played!

@ZJS is a great seller to work with! Prompt shipping and it came well protected.

Thanks for the kind words, happy to hear you dig it, I very much agree! Looking forward to the NUD. Play in (or to) good health my friend!✌
