Made in San Diego, CA in the 1950’s by George A Finder and Nino Marcelli, very similar to the Maccaferri ukuleles but Finder’s and Marcelli’s patents pre dated Maccaferri’s by 3 months.

Made out of top quality tone plastic, but it sounds pretty good and it is in good condition, no cracks, splits and it’s very playable, a very cool looking Uke too I think.

No case but it will be very well padded in postage

£80 + postage

scorpiodog: There are 4 fabulous examples of wood and wire in the classifieds at the moment and I'm only slightly tempted. Does GAS disappear with extreme age? Apr 28, 2022 11:16:02 GMT

walkingdecay: I just read that 13th C Bishop (later Saint) Hugh of Lincoln was so keen to collect holy relics that on a visit to Normandy he took two bites from the arm of what was supposed to be Mary Magdalene's body. He 'gnawed it as if he were a dog,' we're told. Jun 28, 2022 17:54:47 GMT

walkingdecay: Oh, and just as a matter of interest, brides aren't 'walked down the aisle.' The middle of a church is the nave, the aisles are on either side. Jun 28, 2022 17:57:35 GMT *

walkingdecay: I got a copy of Dave Davies' original autobiography in advance of the release of his new one and found myself so appalled by his ego and careless disregard for others that I cancelled the pre-order. Feet of ordure. Jun 30, 2022 7:49:47 GMT

walkingdecay: Thanks to a rave review on The Guardian this morning I just checked out Ghost Story by Fern Maddie on Spotify. Two things: firstly, there's an affectingly elemental, almost mystical air to it, reminding me of the first time I heard Emily Portman... Jul 1, 2022 7:52:37 GMT

walkingdecay: ...secondly, The Guardian overturned precedents by getting a music review right. They usually try to ride trends and recommend the stuff that sounds awful because if it's hard on the ears it must be cutting edge. Jul 1, 2022 7:54:02 GMT *

scorpiodog: Nice recommendation, Pete. I just listened to her version of "Hares On The Mountain" on YouTube. Really excellent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdX19cSFkuQ Jul 1, 2022 12:21:05 GMT

walkingdecay: Nice. The album is let down by a couple of overwhelming instances of heavy bass, but elsewhere there's a rapidly developing new voice. Jul 1, 2022 18:05:36 GMT
