Greetings pickers, seven or eight months ago I bought a 70-71 Kamaka soprano on ebay that had a very shallow crack in the heel. Easily repaired and it sounds great. I was just looking at ebay and I found another white label kamaka that has a deeper but similar crack in pretty much the same place. That made me wonder if this is a common defect and what would cause such a separation about one inch up the heel from where it joins the back of the neck. The crack seemed unusual because there was no bruise or indication of damage, just a shallow crack with irregular edges (you wouldn't have known it was there unless someone told you or you ran your fingers over every inch of the uke). TIA, g2
