Q1: Why would I sell such an amazing instrument and source of drool?
A1: Because (don't ask ...) I have more than one
Q2: Why would somebody spend this kind of money on a ukulele
A2: There is no logic ... unless of course you want the best

This ukulele is absolutely 100% perfect brand new condition. Not a mark on it and no signs at all it has ever been played. To put it mildly ... the sound will blow off your coconut bra.
Price new was around $2200. and these things don't come up for sale very often.
PM or email me if you have questions.

I had a question about the tuners. These are NOT standard friction tuners. They are GEARED TUNERS called Peg-Heds. One of the coolest inventions you can imagine. It looks just like a standard friction tuner, made of solid ebony. But in fact it's a 4:1 geared self contained planetary tuner. Very stealth and absolutley spot-on accurate with no slippage. These are starting to show up on more and more high end ukuleles
