2007 Alegre Handcrafted Concert Ukulele Made in Cebu, Philippines This handcrafted Alegre concert ukulele was built on June 13, 2007, according to the original interior label, and was purchased directly from Alegre Guitar in Cebu, Philippines in 2008. It features a beautiful solid acacia body, ebony appointments, and abalone inlays.

History I purchased this ukulele directly from Alegre Guitar while visiting Cebu in 2008. At the time, I was told it had been built as Fernando Alegre’s personal instrument. I have reached out to Alegre Guitar to see whether they can confirm that history. Until confirmation is received, I am presenting this simply as the story shared with me when I purchased it rather than as verified provenance. Shipping The ukulele will be carefully packed with the neck fully supported and shipped fully insured. International buyers are welcome. Buyers are responsible for any import duties, taxes, or customs fees charged by their country.
