    Vintage 1920~1930's Martin Soprano Ukulele-rare Koa Wood, Hard Case EX COND.
    This Ukulele belonged to my mother.  It is in near perfect condition.  You have to look hard to see the very few tiny scratches!  I have dusted and oiled the wood, restrung and tuned it.  It is keeping its tuning well.  As I understand it from experts, most of these instruments were made of mahogany and the Koa wood was unusual.  It is in its original case that either needs to be repaired or replaced.  The hinges were made of leather and are broken.  It would have been purchased in Los Angeles, where it has been its entire life.  It has a big, warm sound for a little Ukulele. I have a new Kala concert Ukulele, and this little soprano is not as mellow, but really has a bigger sound.
    It will ship wrapped in bubble wrap in its hard case and the case will be boxed and padded with packing peanuts.  Best rate will be FedEx, insured.
