Do moderators allow this - it's not intended as an advertisement for a sale...

I have a policy - you don't like the uke? I'll replace it. Clients make odd decisions all the time. I actually put the tiny ding in it so it was available as a pristine instrument before I clumsily put it down on my untidy bench

I think I speak for the rest of the admin/mod team when I say that I can not see an issue with you placing a link to your ebay listing here Pete. It's a one off sale and it is not like you are directly marketing on the forum. We do get a bit shirty with people who simply barge in and try to use our forum as a billboard but this is hardly the case in this instance.

Put your link up and I will make a post in the admin area, if there is any probs we can remove it if need be but as I say, I cannot see any issue.

P.S. luvely Uke 8)

Cheers

Kim

What happens if the next one buzzes like the first, only to be solved
that it's by the player's soft fretting touch?

Do you replace it for a third, or put them at fault?

Certainly can end up a can of worms, I guess.

Really like the uke, Peter. :D
Cheers, Stu

This is the final re-constructed message of this topic posted by the ANZLF help team.

Money back, put it on eBay or move it up the queue, don't loose any sleep. You learn pretty quick in this business the difference between sheep and goats.
