Kamaka HF1?

RonS · Aug 17, 2009

By accident I came across a used Mango Kamaka HF1. Sounded really nice. Like new condition. I don't know how old it is.

Comes with a case and the seller wants $300.

I have no idea what the value is on this brand. Is this in the ballpark?

I haven't ever heard of a Mango Kamaka, doesn't mean they are not out there I just haven't heard of one, and I don't know a lot more than I know. If it is in good condition and a real Kamaka, $300 is a pretty good price IMO. The White lable Kamaka HF-1 go from around 300 ro 400 on ebay Brand new about 600. If it is Mango it is probably some special or custom uke making it even more valueable.

That's a really good price - I thought Kamakas were all koa - a mango would be unusual...

First time I've heard of a mango Kamaka, I'd grab it at that price.

I'm on my way out to pick it up.

Most of the Kamakas are solid Koa unless it's a special order or a custom model. And for 3 bills, I think it's a steal.

Oh man,

He who snoozes loses, someone else grabbed it

That didn't hang around for long.
I guess I should educate myself some more on these wonderful instruments.

Oh what a shame. That's why you gotta buy first, ask questions later when you really want it.

And tangentially related, its easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask and receive permission when buying these ukes. Hehe.
