I don't know how much you paid for the uke but this is a great find, from the look of it it's old, like 1910 or something.
They are called Taro patch ukulele. Usually tune like a regular uke with 2 set of strings. Sometimes the 4 middle string are tuned an octave higher (like a tahitian uke)
I'll died to get one like this. You're probably looking at an instrument in the $1000 even with the crack on the top.
That's my guess.
Great find man!!!
