I bought a Kamaka HF-38 8 string Tenor on EBay (item # 250925619438)
It just arrived today. Very full sound. Except for the wound low G string all the strings are black. The previous owner hadn't changed the lines so she doesn't know the brand that is currently installed. By the labels and decals it was built between 1969 and 2000. Someone added a clear plastic pick guard to the front of it
I tried a new Kamaka Tenor HF-3 at a dealer and thought the stock strings were pretty dull sounding. I imagine changing to to Aquila will yield a much brighter sound.
I'll post more as I learn this instrument.
Does anyone else have much experience with this model uke?
