Hello, I bought a tenor ukulele off of ebay with full solid koa body. It is described by the seller as faultless and working perfect. There was a minor issue that had been dealt with by the original manufacturer.
When I got it I found that there is a brownish nuance colour shifting on the inside of the body that goes from the top to the back. Is that natural for koa wood?
There are also some small scratches on the RH side on the sound hole that the seller didn´t mention. These scratches are shallow so that I can hardly feel them. But when i hold the ukulele to the light you can see them. They are impressions in the wood. Right now it feels somewhat sad because of these matters that I don´t know exactly what importance they might have.
I try to show these with photos, please.
Best regards, Henning
