Degas ukulele

Post by mikek »

Hi,

My wife acquired a El Degas ukulele EU 54. I was wondering what it might be worth. We are considering letting our twins start playing it. It is missing some strings and I plan to go down to my local music store to get some more strings.
Any ideas or info would be helpful. Thanks!

You do not come across the Ukes too often. I've always thought I might buy one if I came across it, but they're a rare beast. Not really "rare" as in "valuable", but rare nonetheless.

It's very difficult to even guess at a value since they are so scarce so I do not know the build quality vs. other offerings on the market; and honestly, the market is likely pretty small for them. I'd say as long as the condition is good and you are going to get some play out of it, just string it up and enjoy. :)

I'd love to see some photos.
I started ElDegas.com many years ago to help celebrate and inform about El Degas instruments. It all started with a used Ric 4000 bass copy I bought in circa 2000.

El Degas stable as of 03/2022: 42 :shock: (13 bass, 26 electric, 3 acoustic)
