Description Brand: Kamaka Top Material: Koa Body Material: Koa Model: Baritone Ukulele Type: Baritone Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
This is handcrafted in Hawaii with Solid Hawaiian Koa wood on the top, back, and sides. Made late 1960 The Kamaka Brochure says: “this delivers a clear, crisp tone no matter what your playing style. The Kamaka Baritone ukulele has a fine tonal quality with a full-bodied sound and is the size generally preferred by guitar players. It is equipped with geared tuners, a Rosewood fingerboard and bridge. “ I had the metal parts gold plated. It has only the chipboard case that came with it. This belonged to my father, and was not played very much, and I have not played in years. I took it out in the winter to put in the humidifier, and noticed a small crack on the top, about an 1 ½ inches long. That has closed up, and not noticeable. The fix for that is a small piece of veneer glued in place I have not done that. I have a 69 Martin D 28 with 4 such cracks, and no problems with the playing ability or sound. It is just what can happen with old instruments. I am pricing the instrument as such. I am happy to answer any questions, or send more pictures. Thanks
