Okay, I heard back from Noa Bonk. According to him there are plans for a new Master Series model, but not this year. They are hopeful for something in 2025.

That post is about Oli ukuleles. I wasn’t really asking about Oli’s.

You have no idea how long I’ve wanted a uke with a side port… I’m not holding my breath though. 😄

I have a post up in the Marketplace searching for a Master Series tenor. Fingers crossed I get a hit sometime.

I’ve emailed Noah at Pono/Ko’olau to ask if they’re considering moving forward with the Master Series.

Might open to other wood configurations as well.

Hoping to find a newer (lattice braced) Pono Master Series Cedar/Rosewood Tenor. Willing to trade a Kala Elite XL tenor (spruce/myrtle) or just buy outright.

This YouTube channel has a great cover and tutorial on this song. She has a good voice and great energy. https://youtu.be/WsPigB4kpqo
