Title: Larrivee ukulele
Post by: Rudybocz on July 13, 2018, 03:54:41 PM
I have a Larrivee soprano uke that I'd like to sell. Excellent condition.
I'm trying to figure out what it's worth in today's market.
The uke was built in Canada. This was a time I believe that Larrivee was only
Producing soprano ukes.
Any info would be greatly appreciated

We'll need a little more info and pics if possible. Year built. What it's made of etc. I paid $500.00 for a used, although like new, all mahogany soprano with gig bag, ten years ago.   :cheers

Thanks, I got them. Hope I was some help. I took my little uke to Montreal with me this weekend and had a lot of fun with it. Much easier to travel with, by plane, than a guitar.

Sent an email reply as well.

Got the photos. Thanks. Would like more. One of the tuners, the back, sides, and the string height near the 8th or 10th fret, and a photo of the break angle of the strings over the saddle.

Is it a Mahogany body?

I might be a buyer on this one depending on your asking price and if it doesn't have any cracks, or need any repairs, the neck is straight etc.

I actually prefer the tuners on the newer models, but I like the abalone rosette and purfling on your Ukulele.
