Just bought a kamak soprano on ebay, and I found the serial number is 093442, which should be made at DEC 31 2009. I wrote an email to Kamaka to ask about some relevant information about this uku, but they told me that the ukuleles made in 2009 should start with 090!!!!

Thanks!
The manufacturer date under the serial number shows DEC 31 2009.
I am still waiting for Kamaka's next email.
Hope everything is fine.

Please post photos. It's impossible to comment without seeing the uke. Or post a link to the auction, so we can see what you got. But FWIW, eBay buyer protection and PayPal buyer protection should cover you if Kamaka says it's a fake.
