A friend has asked me if there are any good luthiers in the Northwest (Spokane or Seattle area) who could repair an old Jonah Kumulae ukulele that has a couple of cracks in it. It was her father's, which he got as a boy on a trip to Honolulu around 1920. Can any of you in that area make a recommendation of someone she should contact?

Sounds like a really special ukulele. I actually have on that has a crack or more like a piece broken. Unfortunately, I don't think it is really worth fixing considering the price of the ukulele.
