moridaira ukulele

[I Ukulista]

Is there anyone out there with a Moridaira ukulele?
I know Toshio Moridaira produced really good quality guitars and marketed then as Morris guitars in the US.
I have got hold of a Moridaira ukulele and I'm reasearching.

Any info would be great..Japanese ukulele...Perhaps a player in Hawaii might assist?

Ancient thread, but thought I'd chime in to say that I have a Morris baritone ukulele that was my mother-in-law's. She probably purchased it in the 1970s. Branded Morris on the head and has a small square sticker that says MADE I N JAPAN on the reverse.

I'm not sure on the materials; it's dark brown and quite plain. The tuners aren't the greatest, but work okay. Lovely action and nice tone.
