Preowned Romero Creations "Replica" Signature Romero Tenor Ukulele Solid Mango in gigbag

Please note that this is a commission sale being sold on behalf of one of our customers. All used ukuleles are only for sale to UK based customers.

The signature Romero Creations tenor ukulele, also known as the "Replica", is a production copy of the Pepe Romero custom ukuleles. It has many of the features of these super expensive, long wait time instruments. The essential DNA that goes into one of the customs, like the Spanish heel joint on the neck, the reverse fan bracing, and intricate genuine abalone inlay and purfling are all present in this replica.

You can see more about the model from the man himself here.

This tenor ukulele is quite an extraordinary instrument. The sustain is legendary, and the tone is exquisite. Instantly, upon handling it, you know that it is something special as it is so lightweight, and so resonant if you tap the bridge. The holy grail of uke building is to make them light and stiff - and this uke is both very light and super stiff.

The reverse fan bracing pattern used (you can see this through the soundhole quite easily) no doubt has something to do with this; all top end uke makers have their own ways of getting the best out of the wood they use. Romero's method here with the bracing so obviously works beautifully.

This used model is a fantastic example and is in really great shape. We're giving it a 9/10. It also come shipped in its original gigbag.
