condition: excellent
make / manufacturer: Airline
model name / number: Soprano
Airline Soprano Ukulele. Very light weight and resonant. Had the original Montgomery Ward box at one time but that's lost, it must have been stuffed away in a closet for 50 years. It has seen very little use.

Anyway, beautiful sounding instrument and if held properly it 'sings'. I had heard these were nickel-silver frets (which have begun to tarnish) which may need polishing. Small area of lacquer has worn thru near the first fret, other than that it's in 'like new' condition.

Price is firm. Comes with upgraded (Gotoh) tuners & Case. This instrument is the equal to the Martin Ukes of the period and every bit as well made.

$275
