Hi,
i bought a old Ukulele at an auction house in England.
It is labeled as "Jonah Kumalae gold award 1915".
A luthier told me that my uke might be built about 100 years ago, but he had not the experience to tell me how a real "kumalae would look like".
Since in germany we have nearly no experts in terms of old hawaiian/chicago ukes, i hope somebody here can tell me if my ukulele is a real "jonah kumalae".
I upload some pictures, if you need pictures of specific details, please tell me.
