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. I purchased this ukulele used. It appears to be a ukulele from the late 1960s with metal friction pegs. There's a scratch on the side (photo 12) and a scratch on the soundboard (photo 13), but otherwise, it's a relatively clean ukulele. How about it if you're interested in a slightly different ukulele? No claims, no returns. Shipping will be done by wrapping it in bubble wrap or protective paper and placing it in a reused cardboard box.
