Sorry, but I respectfully disagree with a lot of what has been stated. $1800 is not a lot of money for a luthier built ukulele. A ukulele in the $1800 price range is not considered world class either. For example, a Chuck Moore uke would cost about $5000, if you can get one. I own two luthier built ukuleles, and both cost closer to $3000.
However, unlike your situation, my ukuleles were built by well known luthiers in the uke world. I am not familiar with Tomas Braverman. It does look great, though. I did a search for his name in the ukulele underground forum and came up blank. The part that I do agree with is excersing caution buying from an unknown builder because you might have a hard time selling it. Plus not being a uke player, you might not have the ear to judge how good it sounds.
