My dad called me last week and told me that his pastor stumbled across twenty ukuleles at an auction and payed $20 for all of them...That's right $1 per ukulele. I of course asked for my dad to pass my number to him so that I could check them out before he gave them away. You never know what you are going to find right. Anyways the pastor never gave me a phone call. Fast forward to today. Our road captain of the motorcycle ministry we do had hi mom pass away. I asked my dad to pick me up to go to the funeral home since my car broke down and my wife was in our other car and it was 30 degrees. I didn't want to ride the motorcycle that far in the night. So my nephew gets out of the truck and hands me a baritone ukulele and wants me to "fix" it for his friend. I tell him I'll get to it later. As we are driving down the road my nephew tells me he got an ukulele as well. He then pulls out this pineapple and the first thing I see is the double K logo. I almost peed my pants. I wouldn't put it down but I think it is a fake. Here are some pictures that I took with my camera phone. First impression is that it is in terrible shape. It is missing a tuning peg, has numerous scratches and cracks. not sure if it is a solid wood or a lmainate. The double K logo looks like a decal. There are no markings on it. The label is missing and it is not very well made. When I ran my fingers along the side of the neck along the frets, there are extremely rough edges which makes me think that it is a fake even more. So I am asking for the help of UU. What do you think? Did my nephew (who is a very good guitar player) get a Kamaka before me? BTW the baritone is a Capital brand. never heard of it either.
