Handcrafted in 2013, this gorgeous DeVine tenor ukulele was previously owned but went virtually unplayed. It spent a few months last year in the Maui shop to address a small fracture to the back of the instrument that surfaced due to temperature fluctuations. The repair remains virtually invisible and no cleats were necessary. In addition, the ukulele also received a fresh coat of lacquer and a professional buff for a high gloss finish. This instrument has only seen a few hours of actual play time since it was initially built and the amenities on this ukulele, including the rare wood options, scroll tooling, and shell inlays.
