Conversation 148 (Listen and Read)

Excuse me. Where do you keep ukuleles?

I'm looking for one for my music lessons.

What's your price range?

Uh… About $25.

I'm just a student, so I can't afford anything too fancy.

Plus, I am a complete beginner.

I'm afraid in that price range you won't be able to find any new ukuleles,

not even the entry-level ones.

Now, second-hand ukuleles are often 20% or more off the original price.

Are you open to that?

Great, that I can afford,

so long as there are no serious flaws or missing strings.

Don't worry.

The instruments are in excellent condition.

Let me show you what we have in stock.
