It seems to me that the market place is busier with some Ukes than others, the keepers stay with their owners and the rest are re-homed to be either played or gather dust elsewhere. Maybe some of the mass manufactured instruments don’t sell in large numbers and hence not many are for resale, but I recall one USA based reviewer saying that he’d kept a particular model for his own use and the rest he’d let go (because you’ve only got so much wall space and can only play a limited number in rotation, etc.).
I've an Ohana SK35 that‘s pretty good; it ain’t perfection but it was relatively affordable, I’m very pleased with it and I anticipate keeping it for a very long time - who knows, it may even never be sold by me. The SK35 is quite a popular model but (here in the UK) I rarely see second hand ones for sale and I had to watch and wait for quite some time before ’mine’ appeared on eBay. Its slightly more expensive sister, the SK38, never seems to be for resale … and that’s the one the tester kept.
Of the mass made Sopranos that you own which are the ones that you both regularly play and refuse to sell?
