I collect ukuleles and enjoy restoring old ones as a hobby (though I'm just an amateur). I'm downsizing my collection to declutter. If you're looking for a perfect instrument, I recommend purchasing from a dedicated musical instrument store. This ukulele was purchased used. While it has few overall scratches, the surface has been repainted and over-lacquered. It has metal friction pegs, which I think makes tuning easier than wooden pegs. How about this slightly older ukulele for someone looking for one? It's from the 1960s or 70s. No claims and no returns. Shipping will be done by wrapping it in bubble wrap or protective paper and placing it in a reused cardboard box.
