This was an interesting eBay find for me given the listing title just said "custom handmade tenor ukulele"; it turned out to be this gorgeous-looking de Houtwinkel. I have too many instruments and I'm not really getting along with the neck shape/width, so I'd like to move it onto another home (no trades please).
Full disclosure, if I were to keep this uke I would probably take it to get a setup, as I find the action low and can make it buzz quite easily how I usually play, even after swapping the strings to a fresh set of Worth Browns. Maybe it was set up for someone with a really light right hand touch?
