I was in the market for a new uke last week because I got tired of the poor sound coming out of my el cheapo soprano... Called a few music stores around town with no luck until I called a luthier that specializes in violins and mandolins (the only one I know of in these parts). He tells me he has a personal collection of instruments with a couple ukes, but none were for sale, but to stop by and chat with him when I got a chance. He occasionally got offers on old instruments people were trying to sell and would keep his eyes out for me. I stopped by on my lunch break and was shown the uke show in the pictures below. I tuned it up and played a quick little tune. Long story short, he sold it to me for $125 because he decided he'd rather see it in the hands of someone who could play it rather than look at it hanging on his wall.
Here's what I know. It's in mint condition. No scratches, dings, cracks, etc. at all. Looks like it's always hung on a wall or been in a case most of it's life.
It has a gold label inside reading Kamaka Ukulele, and a small sticker above the tuning pegs (pictured).
It sounds really good when played and I'm looking for some mroe information about this instrument. How much is it really worth? I personally think I got a great deal. Any info you guys can give me is greatly appreciated.
