The finish on the Uke is original and the colors you see are true. It has spent its life inside a felt case which protected the surface, but this case also caused a problem. In my last photos you can see a hole in the side. It lines up right where the snap to the case goes. Some past owner pushed the snap shut and pushed right through the case. What a shame. The rest of this Uke is in perfect original condition and there are no other damages or repairs. I’m hoping there is some eBayer with the talent to save this exceptional Hawaiian Ukulele and to make sure that someone gets a chance there is No reserve. The body of this measures 9 ¼” long by 4 ¾” across at the top and 5 ¾” across at the bottom. The thickness at the end of the body is 2 ½” and the overall length of this Kumalae Uke is 20 5/8”. …… I realize buying a Musical Instrument without holding it in your hands is very difficult and I am not a musical instrument dealer, nor do I play. That’s why I give a 100% unconditional money back guarantee that the high bidder will be totally satisfied with this Uke’s condition and my description or I will return their money.
