Glückwunsch TOFR&R!
Könnte mir vorstellen, dass die Uke bei Dir nicht  nur zu Gast auf dem Sofa ist,
sondern eine feste Bleibe hat.

Hallo  fellow ukulele friends,
I hope someone still visits this topic every now and then?
This is a message from The Netherlands: I recently acquired a Dieter Hopf soprano that was built in februari 1972.  Second hand it is, well taken care of.
I looks like it has made many many hours, but still in good condition.
Tuned A D F# B.

It needs new strings, I'm not sure which ones I'll use.
Tips are more than wel come.
Does anybody know, how many of these ukes were built in those days?

I got another one offered some weeks ago, in The Netherlands as well, but is was in very very bad condition. Nut missing, two strings lacking but most of all: upper side at one side worn out. Needs replacing.

If someone is interested nevertheless: https://www.marktplaats.nl/v/muziek-en-instrumenten/snaarinstrumenten-overige/m2245575568-vintage-ukelele-dieter-hopf-meisterwerkstatt?

It seems no longer for sale, but I'm willing to make a connection, if possible, for another Hopf Aficionado
