Not me but there was GT, who got a six banger..Thanks Stan ... nice pictures ... did you make any purchase?
Aloha Qshirley,Enjoyed the "tour". Thanks. Do I see some new additions?
Aloha Tony,Cool pictures! Thanks.
The only problem is that I wanted to imagine some guy high up on a mountain (volcano ?) somewhere in Hawaii carving out my Ohta-San from a hunk of Koa with a wood carving knife. Now, I have a mental picture that my Ohta-San went by on a conveyor belt while a bunch of people in a long line each did something to it until it reached the end of the line and was ready to ship.
Just kidding. I am sure the reality (except the mountain...) lies somewhere between these two extremes.

Nice pics! Thanks Stan.
Kamaka has a quite a bit of modern machinery and tooling, including a nice CNC!
Aloha Tony,
The reality is that you're getting a high quality ukulele made by a company that had been in business for 99 years.
Coolio Stan! Thanks for the virtual tour. I hope I can get a 100th anniversary Kamaka. I think it's most interesting that the world's eldest ukulele maker has so many technical looking machines.
My dream is to visit Hawaii and come home with a beautiful uke, maybe a Kamaka!
I could do worse, right?
mahalo for the photos, Stan! Did you get an ukulele hole as a souvenir of the tour?
Most certainly.
Tony
