I recently bought a KoAloha soprano (pikake) used that arrived today--not from the factory, but purchased through a previous owner. After letting the box adjust for several hours I opened and inspected it.
It is beautiful, as you KoAloha fans know. It plays beautifully. There is a problem, and I need your advice.
There is the slightest raise at the seam in the back of the instrument, from midway down to the heel at the bottom. It is barely noticeable by eye, but there by touch. What do you think it represents, is it in the range of normal or is it a potential problem?
I have an email to our friends at KoAloha to ask their opinion.
I want to stress that I believe the seller to be a person of good will, and should I need to return it, that will not be a problem.
What would you do?
