Instruments For Sale
I have far too many musical instruments. These are some that I am selling. There are more to follow. Email me if you are interested. And if you know that I own another ukulele that you want to buy, I may sell it, so contact me.
ROB COLLINS Custom Tenor Purpleheart
Ukulele
£650
Rob Collins is a well-respected British luthier with many years experience. His website can be found at tinguitar.com. I commissioned this deep-bodied tenor ukulele from him about 12 years ago. It sounds simply amazing.
The instrument is made primarily from purpleheart, a hardwood with a natural reddish colour. The top, sides and back are solid purpleheart. The fretboard is ebony and several other woods are used decoratively.
It was accidentally damaged some time ago and was permanently repaired by Chris Perkins, a professional luthier.
It comes with a hard case and a couple of extra sets of Living Water Strings. Check out the review and performance video.
If you are interested or want to make an offer, please send an email to ken@kenmiddleton.co.uk.
KOALOHA KSM-00 Solid Koa Soprano Ukulele
£650
This beautiful soprano instrument was made in Hawaii in August 2011. It is made from solid koa. It has excellent KoAloah friction tuners that work superbly well and has 12 frets.
The instrument is in as new condition, with no dinks or scratches. It has hardly been used in the last 14 years, primarily because I have been playing mainly tenor ukes. I don't actually think it has ever left the house since I purchased it new in California.
It comes with a shaped hard case and a couple of extra sets of Living Water Strings.
If you are interested or want to make an offer, please send an email to ken@kenmiddleton.co.uk.
ROLAND
Fantom EX
£2300
SOLD
Roland's flagship synthesizer/workstation with 88 fully-weighted keys. This instrument has been completely upgraded to the EX version (see photo) and is fully loaded with all the expansions. A simply wonderful piano action. An outstanding instrument in every respect.
Home use only and mint condition. I am including a solid, heavy-duty stand. Will need to be collected in person, as the instrument is both large and heavy (wooden hammer action, metal body, etc.).
MYA MOE Custom Tenor Banjo Uke
£1300
This beautiful custom tenor banjo ukulele was built for me in 2013 by Aaron Keim.
The woods I chose were walnut and ebony. It is fitted with top-class Peghead geared tuners. Check out the videos below for more information.
Immaculate condition. Comes with strong gig bag and a couple of extra sets of Living Water Strings.
I strongly suggest you come and see it in person before you buy (near J16 of the M6).
If you are interested or want to make an offer, please send an email to ken@kenmiddleton.co.uk.
OHANA TK-75CG
£80 (was £100)
Have you ever wanted to own a ukulele that has been in hundreds of YouTube videos? I started using this ukulele nearly 20 years ago when I was working for Ohana. Since then it has been to festivals and workshops all over the world.
I cannot say that it is in perfect condition. Not even close. For the last decade it has had cracks in the (almost) solid spruce top, just below the bridge. These cracks have been glued or selotaped, and have not been a problem (see photos). It still sounds great.
The solid maple back is still stunning and is almost undamaged.
Pickup fitted. No case. If you need a case, let me know. If you are interested, please send me an email.
PETE HOWLETT
Custom Tenor Ukulele
£1500
I commissioned this wonderful ukulele from Pete Howlett in 2008 and received it in 2009.
I chose the woods myself. I wanted a simple, but elegant instrument. The rosette and fretboard are ebony. The body is mastergrade koa. Pete calls it "sausage" koa. The curl is really striking. When you hold the instrument in front of you it has a 3D look about it.
The note separation is simply fantastic. Perfect for picking. Check out the attached videos. I suggest you come and see it in person before you buy (near J16 of the M6).
Comes complete with a hard case. Also a couple of sets of Living Water Strings of your choice.
If you are interested or want to make an offer, please send an email to ken@kenmiddleton.co.uk.
MOOG SIRIN
Analog Messsenger of Joy
£650 (was £700)
Moog's stunning limited-edition desktop analog synthesizer. It features classic Moog architecture, including a ladder filter, two analog oscillators, and ADSR envelopes, etc.
This one is in absolute mint condition, with no marks or scratches. It comes complete with original packaging and power supply. There is a free software editor available online.
