As the Kamaka anniversary year is coming close to the end, I've been thinking about whether or not I'd want an anniversary Kamaka.
It would probably be a concert, though I guess my questions would apply to all sizes.
Of course, there is variation from one ukulele to the next, even with the same brand and size, but with that in mind:
How much variation is there from one Kamaka to the next? How is intonation? (That's a big issue for me.) Are sound and build quality pretty consistent? How do those concerns compare to non-anniverary models, (should I wait until next year if I want the best quality, since I would assume they'll build fewer ukuleles then?)
I'm guessing that the prices will stay the same next year, and not go down even though it's not a special headstock next year. Does that seem like a reasonable guess? (I realize no one but Kamaka knows the answer for sure, though.)
