I received a PM today from someone who said they were from Kamaka Ukulele. They stated that they wanted to clear up any rumor or innuendo that was the result of a prior thread. The prior thread (which has since been closed/locked) was visible here: http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/f...by-gets-a-Kamaka-ukulele&highlight=bill+cosby
The jist of the thread was that Bill Cosby was presented with a Kamaka ukulele while he was in Hawaii. The article inferred that it was given to him as a gift, but instead it appears in fact, that he actually bought the instrument. I would not have brought this thread back into discussion (as it got fairly contentious and speculative) but Kamaka has requested that the facts (or perceived facts) be corrected.
The PM that I received requested that I clarify, "Bill Cosby is a Kamaka Hawaii, Inc. customer. He purchased the ukulele. He did not receive it as a gift."
As that thread is locked, hope this sets the record straight on this issue. I don't want this to lead to speculation or attacks on either Kamaka or Cosby, or the re-dredging of all the drama that this thread initiated the first time. This notification was purely to provide the information as was requested by Kamaka today.
