Real or counterfeit Koaloha?

KoAloha did make a custom "tsunami relief" uke that looks just like that. I don't see it on their website anymore, but they did do some with that flag design on it. I guess the controversy drove it off their website. I expect it might be real, not fake.

Thanks for all the answers...next time I'll let Google be my friend I guess...
What was the 'controversy'? because of the "Rising Sun" flag??
 
The one MGM and HMS show has a plastic piece over the sun in the flag; I don't see that on the Thailand uke, nor do I recall it from the KoAloha website.

I figure it was something special HMS added.

Yep. It really wasn't a controversy. Just some folks made it into one.

But i'm not sure that is why koaloha took it off their site. I was under impression it was a limitedrun to raise money for relief.

As far a Thailand, the ukulele it's very popular there. More so than here.
