Hi all. I was cruising around this afternoon and stumbled on an old Kamaka soprano that has been well used. Well certainly it's used, but its not doing very well. No bridge, no tuners and a nasty hole in the upper corner of the lower bout. It will definitely need a new top.
I haven't opened negotiations yet and wanted to get your input on whether or not its even worth it. I have no idea how old it is, but I'd guess its from the '60's maybe. I probably will not do the work myself. I'll ask someone more skilled to do it.
So, should I go for it or would it be better to just walk away from this one. I have a nice Pono soprano, so I'm not looking to replace it. This would be my only "vintage" uke.
Any thoughts, suggestions or comments?
Thanks for your help on this!
