This uke has been played some, but not a lot.  It probably has a few dings here and there, but it is still in really nice shape.
The unusual stand is not your average stand and presents the uke well.  The books were hardly used.  The case is a bit dusty, but otherwise in good shape.  This uke offers a very nice sound, as compared to a few other ukes that I have.   It has a cleaner, and more full sound.  I am not sure why.  Perhaps it is just my ears.
