This is a gorgeous vintage 1970s Kamaka soprano ukulele. It looks amazing, and sounds even better. Built from solid Koa using time-honored Hawaiian ukulele building methods, this Kamaka uke has a pronounced, woodsy tone that's much louder than you'd expect from a uke that weighs less than a pound. Notable features include the gorgeous lacquer finish, the masterfully carved neck joint, offset fretboard end, adjustable-tension tuning pegs, and white interior Kamaka label. Made in Hawaii, USA. This style white label ukulele was made only between 1969 & 1977.
Dating vintage Kamaka ukuleles, from the Kamaka website: "
In 1969, the gold label was replaced by a smaller interior label with a white background and the same trademark red and black lettering. However, the same double K headstock decal remained in use. From 1978 to 2000, a "Samuel Kamaka, Luthier" label was also applied to the custom ukuleles." Using the information provided on the Kamaka website, we've determined that this ukulele is from sometime between 1969-1977.
