Anyone know what make this uke is and maybe what it's worth? All I know is that it is a tenor and possibly made in Japan.

It says on the label: ASD a sense of design
And has a website listed as: www.asdhawaii.com. But my browser couldn't find any such website.

The website no longer exists, but you can find it in the wayback machine!

It looks like you have something like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20160316064900/http://asdhawaii.com/kinohi.htm

When I click through some links, I found one of his ukes selling for $675 reduced from $850 new.

Note that that ukulele is supposed to be a 5-string, but it has been strung as a standard reentrant ukulele.

Thank you! I also found out it was made in Hawaii by Keith Ogata. Yes, it's a 5 string, it had a high G and a low G. And owned by my friend Bobby Tomei.

I decided not to buy this uke for personal reasons, but it's still for sale at Island Bazaar in Huntington Beach,CA. at a very reasonable price.
