Cordoba also has a solid acacia model as well which is the 35T, but HMS is out of stock at the moment.
That is a beauty! I'll have to add it to the list!

Listen to Dave... I did and I am happy with my MTD
Thanks for the kind words. I am really glad you are enjoying your Pono. I have custom ukes that are 2-3 times the price of my Pono pro classic and "Simone" holds her own and gets played just as much or more.
How are you liking the size of the neck, I rememeber that was a point of interest for you.
If you're getting into the $500-ish territory, it might also be worthwhile to watch the Marketplace section for a little while. Might get something higher-end that would otherwise be outside of your budget. (Especially since you're determined to just stick to one tenor!) (I know, I'm not helping. )
I've contacted Andrew at HMS and though he didn't steer me one way or the other or make recommendations one way or the other, my gut is telling me that I should go with a Pono. The Cordobas are now out of the running! (Though I still dig the look of that 35T.) My gut just kept telling me that it was probably much more likely that I would buy a Cordoba and regret not buying a Pono than it was likely that I would buy a Pono and regret not buying the Cordoba.
That brings me down from six picks to four. Now it's the acacias (AT or ATD) vs. the mahoganys (MT or MTD) Among those four choices, I don't really think I can make a bad or regrettable decision. At this point, I'm still up in the air between the four.
