Hello Guys, I have two Martin Style 0 Sopranos in mind. Both have the word "Made in USA" Stamp inside. So they were built 1962 or later. My question is now, how can I date them and be sure they are Vintage (not newer than 1960s)? I can separate them from the recent ones, but I think...

Hello Guys, i bought a martin tenor ukulele, but i wonder now if its a vintage one or a newer model? It has more of a glossy finish and a serial number number in the inside. There is also the "Nazareth" stamp on a stripe of spruce in the middle. Here are some pictures.

Im selling my Brüko Soprano Ukulele in solid maple. Pretty much perfekt condition, i found no marks. But i say "with light signs of use", just to be sure. Very nice instrument i would like to keep, but im saving for a highend tenor instrument. 100 Euros + actual shipping costs. No warranty...

Hello Guys, i bought a used ukulele and it came with a broken bracing at the bottom. Well the seller tells me it wasnt there when he sent it to me. More or less he says that i damaged it myself to get a lower price... Well im quite sure he tries to trick me but he has only positive ratings...

Im selling my custom Loprinzi concert longneck ukulele. This instrument has the most beautiful koa i ever had on a ukulele - just spectacular. Really a great and easy to play instrument, but unfortunately i need to sell some stuff. All solid Koa, matte finish, with great tuners. Good...

I have a question about the really old martin ukuleles (from about 1920, with wooden tuners). How is the intonation on them? I know that it depends, but are they decent, or more of a mess in general. Kumalaes from that time period were never made with the intention of a good intonation i...

Hello Guys, beside from playing ukulele i always wanted to learn the guitar. But classicals guitars always felt too much of a stretch for me and i dont like the feel of steel string instruments. But now i stubled across this crossover tim henson signature guitar. I seen some reviews, and the...

Hello Guys, i wonder what type of saw would be the best for cutting saddles out of corian or bone? I often have to cut new saddles for ukuleles and i would like to use a block of corian, thats by far the cheapest way. I would favor to use a "scroll saw", but im not sure if they have enough...

Hello Guys, There is something I noticed among several ukes and I wonder what causes this and how to fix it. The intonation at the first couple frets is good, but the more I move on the fretboard the less good it gets. I seen some bad built ukes where the frets were not at the right...

Hello Guys, I want to buy a ukulele that can be used for singing but is also a good instrument for fingerstyle and melodic play. Im really interested in the Pono Master Series, they seem to be really great. On the other hand im intrigued by the "Cedar Moonbird UT214". ( I have a moonbird and...

Im selling my Tenor Ukulele from the well known and respected" Uk Luthier Rob Collins. He builds great instruments with a basic but nice look. The most ukuleles he is selling are sopranos and sometimes concert ukuleles, tenors are rare. This ukulele is made of solid mahogany with a...

Hello Guys, i have a ukulele where the top is lifting behind the Bridge. I already changed the strings to less tension strings, but it is not improving much. Therefore the action raised. Its the type of bridge used on classical guitars. I wonder if a string tye would reduce the pressure...

Im selling my fabulous Pete Howlett Tenor Ukulele. It is a hard to find custom model. He is not making customs anymore as far as i know. Today he is building his line of flater revelator ukuleles. These are great ukuleles too, but i prefer the standard/traidional shape. My ukulele has the...

Im selling my "Ken Timms" soprano ukulele. It is in good condition, with some slightly marks of usage (mainly on the back). A great ukulele, and really loud. Fitted with "Anuenue Blackwater" Strings. Really pretty lighter mahogany, unfortunatley not the best light for pictures in my living...

Im looking for a Martin Style 0 Soprano Ukulele in Europe. Action should not be too high and intonation good. Have some really nice ukes for a trade, but would also buy it for a fair price.

I always wondered what's the difference between koolau and pono ukes construction wise. So far I only know that koolau are built on Hawaii from their luthier, and ponos on Java in a factory. I wonder what's different in other parts of the construction. Are koolaus lighter, and have a...

Hello Guys, i have a Ukulele that has a sharp intionation on the C String ( About 20+). The Intonation gets better if you move up the fretboard, at fret 12 its about 5+, what i would be fine with. But the first frets are really bad. The problem shouldnt be the string height at the nut, (fret...

I bought a Martin Style 1k from reverb, and I wasn't aware that there are scams too. I bought it immediately, because it was a really good (yes maybe too good) price and got suspicious later. 500 €, but it was refinished and with lacquer cracks, so I thought it would be a good, but...

Im thinking of buying a vintage soprano koaloha. It should be from about 1998 - 2000. Price would be about 450 € ind good condition. Since here is not much koaloha stuff available and the same model is new over 1000 € that could be a good deal. But I don't know how the old koaloha models...

I'm looking for a tenor, maybe also a concert Kanilea in europe. Would prefer a basic, not to expensive model, but I'm open to offers. I also have really nice ukes for a trade if some likes to trade instead of selling.
