Location: Phoenix AZ		Fore Sale: BLACKBEAR SPRUCE/ZEBRAWOOD BARITONE UKULELE

Custom baritone scale ukulele made by Duane Hielman of Yakima WA. Duane is one of the premier custom ukulele builders in the business and markets his work under the name of Blackbear. His work is true artistry, highly praised for both it's artistic beauty and musical chops. And not cheap !!!

Check out his work here: http://www.blackbearukuleles.net/

This spruce and zebra wood model has been the prize of my ukulele collection for many years (I bought it brand new), but seems as of late I have not been playing much baritone and need to clear up some space. I'm willing to sell it for a fair bit less than I paid for it.

Size/scale: Baritone
Top wood: Sitka spruce
Back/sides: Figured Zebra wood
Headplate: Figured Zebra wood
Fretboard: Rosewood
Bridge: Rosewood
Bindings: Koa
Neck: Honduran mahogany
Tuners: 4:1 gear ration Planet 5-Star
Tuner knobs: Zebra wood
Nut: Bone
Saddle: Bone
Strings: Aquila
Finish: Semigloss nitrocellulose lacquer
Headstock logo: Inlayed MOP
Fret markers: MOP
Case: Tweed hardshell deluxe case (Bushman)

Ukulele and case are in 100% perfect as-new condition. Not a mark on it !!!
You will not find a more beautiful, better playing and more awesome sounding ukulele than this.
I originally paid $1500. for it when new

Price: $1050. including S/H in the US

Email or PM me if you have questions or are interested in buying.

















THANKS FOR LOOKING !!!

Location: Phoenix AZ		I had a few questions about the tuners.

These are the coolest things. They are actually Banjo tuners. They look like regular peg tuners but they are actually geared in a 4:1 ratio which makes tuning extremely easy and rock solid stable. Duane made the buttons (zebra wood) himself to match the body. The more I look at these photos, the more tempted I am to ask Miles to delete this thread.

If someone is seriously interested I could consider some kind of payment/layaway plan. THANKS
