Kamaka Concert (HF-2) Gold Label Tiki Concert model (1969)
OFFERS ! by E-Mail to basil@waikiki-islanders.com
Mahalo nui, thank you so much for looking. The pictures (Albeit badly taken) of the body etc. The good lady wife's camera is Koʻo kapu for me. So notwithstanding the poor quality here are a few of those bad pictures I'm forced to accept. Of note is the fact that the internal label is GOLD.
There isn't any date information on the neck block or elsewhere, but yes I am selling it. As for it's provenance... It was bought in Hawaii (I know not when) by my dear friend Ron Whittaker, who's dying breath was to instruct his family to get me to value and dispose of his instruments, record and music collection and his magic props. He was my mentor into the "Magic Circle" of the Mercian Mystics. An avid fan of my band he often visited us when we were resident at the "Castaways" night club. Like Pat and myself, Ron was good friends with the Moe family and visited them in Hawaii.
My task is to get the best possible HOME for his instruments and see that they are in good and caring hands, with this in mind I do NOT propose to place any of them on E-Bay or the likes.
Ron's story can be seen HERE
With regard to the Kamaka Concert Ukulele, I will entertain reasonable offers and would be delighted to see it 'Go Home' and be loved and played.
Also in my possession are 5 mint condition circulated copies of "The Hawaiian Ukulele" the 50th State Royal Hawaiian Complete Modern Method (D & C Tunings)
by Kealoha Life.
ISBN 0 9506816 1 X
ASIN: 095068161X
EAN: 9780950681610
Published by Ron Whitaker..
One of these is already reserved to whomsoever buys the Kamaka.
This post and it's content will continue to honour my dear friend Ron...
Ka mâlamalama o ke Akua e ho`opuni mai iâ kâkou

I found out only yesterday that this is the rarest of the Tiki model Concert uke, normally they're white label but this is pre 1970. Also because of no serial number of date on the neck end-block it's pre production.
Offers are invited.. |

Can't make an offer without an idea of how much you want for it and some
idea of how much the shipping will be. Thanks. |

Ruth, don't take this as a slight, BUT, if I was interested in an instrument, I'd search the internet for examples and find out the going price. I'd check out its size and weight and go online to a courier to find out the POSSIBILITIES. Then I'd make a sensible offer having done my 'Homework'
I realise you're only a newbie on this forum and please do NOT take offence, it's advice made with all good intentions.
As a matter of interest the Ukulele was sold for a little over $1,000 and is on its way back to its home town Honolulu to an avid collector who's a friend of Samuel Kaialiilii Kamaka's grandson Chris Kamaka
Had it sold here I would of course made a contribution to the Forum as is the policy, but it sold via:- THIS |
