I was happily playing it this afternoon and I decided to take a closer look at it. On the bottom left side on the front (if playing, it's covered by my right forearm), there's a 1/4 to 1/2 inch ding. It didn't go all the way through, but there's definitely a divot or a little piece missing.
I'm sure its my fault as I had been leaving it in a KALA folding stand on the floor. Someone must have banged into it or maybe the cleaning lady took the vacuum cleaner and hit it or something.
I am really irritated and bummed.
I just bought some wall hangers off eBay. Hopefully they'll come soon.
I know to protect the instrument, it should be in the case, but I find if it's in the case, it doesn't get played (out of sight, out of mind). Right now, it's within arms reach of the computer, so I just pick it up, strum for a little bit, and then put it back in the stand. Also, the room that I'm in is next to the bathroom with the main shower that we all use. The radio shack hygrometer has been indicating that the room humidity is 56-64%. Even assuming the calibration is off a bit, I figure it's o.k.
I'm generally pretty careful with my stuff, so I'm a bit disappointed that my uke has this ding.
*sigh* my wife said the instrument, now has *character* Oh well.
