AUCTION: Devine Koa Tenor TU-0179
Eric Devine is a master luthier located in Maui. His ukes are of the highest level quality and he stays backordered by a few years. This one was built May 2013, sold originally for $7,000, and is now available here in mint/ new condition with no absolutely no signs of wear. It sounds amazing with deep, lush tones and incredible sustain. On top of that the action is super low, 2mm at the 12th fret and the neck set and curvature are perfect to allow this ultra easy playability without buzzing. Along with it's 12" radius and slender neck, what you get is an absolutely wonderful feel.
The looks...well, you can judge for yourself, but we think it's pretty obviously spectacular in a rare way. Good luck in bidding for this world class instrument. We guarantee you love it!
This came to us with an Aquila high G set that Kalei samples in the last video, but first check out the tones Corey gets with the new Ko'olau Aho low G fluorocarbon set.

The looks match the tone and feel with a gorgeous curly Hawaiian koa body and binding, and tasteful embellishments with natural wood and abalone inlays.

These videos are done using transparent recording equipment and we are dedicated to showing true tone, as much as possible, so use quality speakers or headphones for the most accurate listening experience. So here is Kalei trying it with the Aquila set.
This ukulele was made in May 2013. It has been played but has been re-setup by us and shows no signs of wear. It's very light in weight and features the finest woods and materials. Waverly tuners, master grade curly Hawaiian koa, wood scrolling inlay on the fretboard, bridge, faceplate, and rosette, and a beautiful gloss finish to protect it and show it off.
The Muse Ukulele
"Named for it's ability to inspire, the Muse ukulele is sure to bring out your inner artist. It's tighter waist and sloping shoulders give it a look that suggests precision and accuracy. The Muse model ukulele is based off of the same bracing system as the Kasha ukulele but designed for a more precise style of playing. The Muse offers a slightly more detailed sound. You will tend to hear the strings more independently of each other. This makes it just slightly better for finder picking or classical styles of playing. If you were to compare it to a guitar, it would be the Jumbo or Grand Auditorium of the uke would."
Includes hard case (also mint condition), Oasis humidifier, and Free Shipping.

Setup Options
Current Turnaround Time: Amount of time it takes before shipment-
Full Setup: 10-14 Business Days
Basic Quality Control: 2-3 Days
BASIC QUALITY CONTROL covers inspecting the instrument for any major defects that would have been missed by the factory and any faults in construction that could potentially damage or limit the functionality of the instrument over time. Any defective instruments are rejected and replaced. We make sure that each Ukulele meets the basic standard for a brand new instrument and will be ready to play once you receive it. A final cleanup is also included after inspection before packing and shipment.
Full Setup - FREE for all Ukuleles $399 and over / $20.00 for Ukuleles from $300-399 / $30.00 for Ukuleles Under $300
Includes:
-Overall QC evaluation: To find defects in construction as well as to get an overall view of the instrument and note the areas that need extra attention and adjustment during the setup.
-Saddle Adjustment: The height of the saddle is lowered to reduce the distance between the strings and the fretboard, making it easier to play than the factory setup, especially higher up the fretboard.
-Nut Slot Adjustment: The depth, width, and angle of the nut slots are adjusted to create a more comfortable playing experience especially on the lower frets.
-Fret Dressing: After adjusting the nut and saddle heights, high spots in the fretboard or uneven frets will potentially cause fret buzz, dead spots, or other unwanted problems. The frets are filed to create a more consistent level across the fretboard. We then crown the frets to return their rounded curvature back to the top of each fret creating a clear contact point for each string. We then smooth and polish the frets and condition the fingerboard to bring them back to new condition.
-Final Cleanup: We always do a final overall cleanup of the instrument to make sure it is in new condition and ready to play before it is prepared for shipment.
Rush Setup & Delivery - Additional $50.00
The RUSH SETUP AND DELIVERY service is for customers who would still like to receive everything included in the full setup but on a shorter time frame. One of our setup technicians will work overtime outside of normal business hours to complete the setup within 2-3 days of the order being placed and immediately hand it over to the shipping department for packing and shipment. The $50.00 rush charge is in addition to the cost of the full setup.
