I've had this beautiful little solid mahagony (saprano?) K.
Yasuma & Co.
ukulele for a while, but have never strung it up.
My Mom is the uke player.
I prefer acoustic guitar.
At any rate, this unit is in lovely condition for its age.
There's precious little information online about the Yasuma instruments, but they are solid wood, built in Nagano, Japan, are often direct Martin copies, and are regarded as wonderful players.
It looks like it was built in the 40s/50s, but evidence seems to suggest that it was probably the 60s/70s.
There's no model stamp anywhere that I can see.
The gold lettering on the headstock looks almost exactly like the vintage Martin saprano ukes.
From what little fiddling I've done with it, the only thing I notice is that a few of the tuners turn a little too freely.
I'd guess that is easily correctable by turning the screws a bit to tighten the movement.
The posts themselves are solid and in good order.
Feel free to make me a fair offer, but please support it with information/data if you're going to lob over something silly.
What little I've seen/found is that the Yasuma instruments aren't cheap.
