Happens all the time. That's why, if you see a Kala model you love, better get it. Might not be there in a few months. One thing you see first if you are lucky are some "clearance" sales on a particular model, especially if it's more than one seller that is doing it for the same model. Lots of folks wish they'd have gotten the solid lacewood travel ukes, the curly maple, spruce top long neck soprano, just to name a few.
