"Antiques Roadshow" host Mark Walberg breezed through the production area yesterday morning on his way to a quilting class in preparation for a segment on Hawaiian quilts.

On Friday, Walberg filmed a segment about the Kamaka Hawai'i 'ukulele factory on South Street.

"We saw all the 'ukuleles and how they make them and that was unbelievably interesting," said Walberg, as the show's trademark din of voices reverberated all around him.

"And I actually played the first Kamaka pineapple 'ukulele — and it plays fantastic."
