I collect ukuleles as a hobby and also restore old ones (though I'm just an amateur). I'm decluttering to organize things a bit. If you're looking for a perfect product, please consider purchasing from a musical instrument store. This ukulele was purchased used. It's a Japanese-made soprano ukulele suitable for beginners to intermediate players. It's easy to play and has accurate intonation. There's a small scratch under the 1st string on the bridge and fine scratches on the back, but otherwise, it's relatively clean (see photos 6 and 10). It has new black nylon strings. This is a great ukulele for those who want to seriously learn to play. You can find information about the reputation of Famous ukuleles by searching online. No claims and no returns. Shipping will be done by wrapping the ukulele in bubble wrap or protective paper and placing it in a reused cardboard box.
