Here are some items which you can buy directly from me. I have added some Pay Pal buttons to make the purchase easier, or you can contact me if you are interested, and I will give you my PayPal account and hold the item for you. Payment must be made to PayPal in full before shipping.
You can also purchase an instrument which is already finished by visiting my Ebay store.
If you want something specific, email me with a description of what you would like, and I will get back to you with a price and specifications of what is included in that price. If you want to accept the deal then I would require a 50% down payment to start and the final payment and shipping cost at completion.
I use FedEx ground shipping or USPS whichever is less, and buy insurance on the shipping.
KU171, Kelai Tenor with White Ash and Engleman Spruce
$499, includes free shipping to lower continental US
White Ash is similar to Maple but has a more responsive ring tone. Engleman Spruce has a bright sounding soundboard and a whiter tone to the wood to go with the Ash. I put on Worth BT warm brown High G strings, but the body would also be very responsive to a Low G setup, or even mellower Aquila nylgut. Other features: Pau Ferro fingerboard, Pua Abalone dots, Corian Nut and saddle, pores filled with CA and the finish is Satin nitro cellulose lacquer. If you would like to include a hard poly foam cloth covered Uke Crazy case or pick up in person, select it below.
