I have loved it and always enjoyed playing it. My children and now my grandchildren play it. I am concerned because I see a small crack and also the bottom of it seems to be coming loose in one spot. Had I realized the value of it, I would have purchased another less expensive one for the beginners to play. How do I get it repaired the right way? Send it to your factory? Is that something you do? Can you give me any idea of cost? I would very much like it preserved. Thank you.

Then ordered a baritone. I play it almost every day. I play in a group of about 50 ukulele players. We play for rest homes and senior centers for free and all have a good time. We have marched in fourth of July parades, played at the county fair, and recently played on stage at the Gallo Arts center. I seem to attract ukulele's and am now up to six. I have 2 Kamakas, a Mele tenor, a Tony Garciano concert, a Kala U-Bass and a cheap concert that I let the grandkids borrow. I love how my Kamakas play (both the bari and the soprano) and wouldn't trade them for the world. They are truely fine instruments. They are both solid Koa and beautifully matched. Impeccable intonation and incredible volume for acoustic instruments. I live where the humidity is about 45% year round in California and don't do anything special for them. Have had zero problems with them for the 3 years I have had them. :) Terry I went to Honolulu and toured the Kamaka factory. Then ordered a baritone. I play it almost every day.
