2020 Kamaka HF-4 Koa Baritone Ukulele
Overview: Kamaka makes my favorite ukes and this baritone is no slouch -- it's warm in tone but still has that famous island chime about it. It's got pretty koa throughout and is built to a high spec, as you'd expect, and has a thin, glossy finish that really pops the figure in the koa as the light changes on it.
Interesting features: The classical-style bridge is classy and the sealed tuners with wood buttons look excellent. The bookmatched grain on the back of the instrument is eye-catching and the pearl inlaid KK in the headstock is as well.
Repairs included: I just gave it a setup and restring. It's playing spot-on and ready to serve.

Condition notes: It's almost as-new with just the lightest wear here and there to the finish. The owner bought this and babied it and it has been stored in its case the whole time. I was bought new in 2022 despite being a 2020 model.
It comes with: It has its original Kamaka hard case and tags and whatnot. The case has a little wear but is in good order.
