I have just got delivery of a 1915-1920 era Kumalae and am stoked with it. Relatively good condition, all staight and in order, only a couple of modest cracks.
Replaced the strings with some aquila's to improve the sound to my untrained ear.
The question I would like to ask is about the friction tuners. Does any one have a picture of what original ones look like? The ones on mine don't look original but I could be wrong.
I haven't got a camera with me now but will try to post a pic of these ones tomorrow.
Is anyone making reproduction ones? All the super talented luthiers on UU could proberly make a set in their sleep.
Thanks,
Ross
