I know I just bought a Kamaka 8 string, but I just had to have a 6 string too. HMS got them back in stock and I jumped on it.
I love the grain of the wood, the feel, and the sound. Didn't even notice how nice the fret markers were. Got a MiSi installed (to jam on my new amp) and a button on the neck for a strap.
The only thing that had me puzzled is it's tuned with unison a's when I was expecting octaves. I've only heard of unison a's on a six-stringer when you switch to low-g. This has high-g.
All those ringing high notes and the highs are closer to the eight-string. I generally don't like to change out the strings immediately on a high-end uke, (especially one so new, Oct 14) giving it time to breath, but I really wanted that low-a sound.
Anyway, time to go play!
