Very good condition. Has one strap pin on the bottom. Neck is “C” shaped. Tunes up easily. Strung with Worth Brown. Minor light scratches. (Difficult to see) on top from strumming. One scratch from a string change - there when I got it- beneath the bridge; two minor (tiny) scratches (1) on top of the headstock, (1) on the side of the headstock (also there when I bought it. Hard to photograph due to the glare of the finish. Last photo has a glare spot, not a scratch or mark. In some photos the Uke appears to be more reddish than it is in person. I bought it from Bernunzio Music a few years ago. Not the original owner. I’ve enjoyed it and love its unique shape, but I don’t play it as much as some of my others. I don’t have the equipment to do a sound sample. Can include a lightly padded tenor gigbag. Hard case would be extra. Shipping only to CONUS. Ukulele stand not included. PayPal preferred.

Bumping this unique luthier made ukulele.

Bumping again

Bumping again

Back to the top. The Boat Paddle is not able to stand on its own like the Fluke, the bottom is not flat and it does have a strap pin on the bottom as well.
Open to any other questions.

 

[Maiden Uke]

Bump for an unusual ukulele.

 

[strumsilly]

I got to play one of these at a music store in Saint Louis years ago. I was impressed.

 

[Maiden Uke]

Thanks for your input, Strum. It is a nice sounding, unique looking ukulele

 

[Maiden Uke]

Still available.
Have been holding off on trying to sell, considering shipping in the unpredictable weather conditions all over the country.

GLWS! I'm not in the market for a tenor but this one definitely should be worth every penny.

I'm in the market for a tenor and am quite interested in this instrument!

The lack of a pickup (I want to be able to plug mine into an amp) is probably the thing most dissuading me at the moment.

But I'm on the fence here.

Maiden Uke - how much is shipping estimated to be from NC to Connecticut?

I think perhaps a pickup could be added by a luthier.

 

[Wiggy]

Another IMDO (in my dreams only) ukulele. Very nice!

 

[bluepencilstand]

Maiden Uke, could you confirm if a pickup was added or not?

I think a pickup be added by a luthier.

Not sure how much shipping would be from CT to NC. I would think at least $30 or more. Would have to pack it up and bring it to the PO or somewhere to get an exact amount.

 

[Maiden Uke]

Maiden Uke, could you confirm if a pickup was added or not?

No pick up was ever addded, but as someone pointed out, a luthier probably could add one. There is a strap button on the bottom of the Uke now. No strap button on the neck, as the neck, back and sides of the body are all one solid piece and the luthier I asked didn’t want to drill there.
