1950s Harmony Baritone Ukulele
Overview: I sold or traded this to my friend Susie many years ago. She hasn't been using it lately so it's arrived back here for resale. It's a '50s Harmony baritone ukulele -- solid mahogany throughout, rosewood bridge and fretboard -- and the work I did on it ages ago is still sound today. It's playing just like it left here... about 10 years ago? These have a nice, mellow, easy sound and I like them a lot for fingerpicking. Oh, and the tortoise binding? Cute!
Repairs included: It previously got a level/dress of the frets, replacement (vintage) geared tuners, cleaning, a hairline crack repair, and setup work. I may have reset the neck, too, but I can't recall. It's been a while! It's playing bang-on and ready to go.
