12 Tenor String Sets on Kamaka HF-3
New Kamaka Tenor HF-3's are extremely consistent. They have been making ukes for 98 years now so there is a wide variety of Kamakas out there.

The finish that Kamaka uses appears to be a quick spray, sometimes uneven. The finish is not as durable compared to other ukes that I have owned.
Kamaka vs Koaloha discussion
I have a Kamaka pineapple soprano and it’s a Kamaka so the workmanship is fine, it’s really pretty and it stays in tune nicely.
Headquarters and manufacturing are recorded separately, because they are often different places: a brand headquartered in one country frequently manufactures in another. Tabarnam lists what the catalog holds and marks the rest unknown. Entries come from public sources and may be incomplete or out of date — production moves.
