I was wondering if a tenor ukulele has any advantages, like playing more advanced songs up the fingerboard?
Can you play any songs on a concert and tenor equally or will a tenor be better/easier?
Just in general, I was wondering if you up the fretboard, will you still be able to play them as beautifully as a tenor. I only have a concert flea, and the higher notes barely ring out (don't know if that's because half the instrument isn't real wood). It really makes the higher frets sound dull.

I have tried each model and feel that any size can be mastered, given time. I came from violin to guitar and now ukulele, so difficult fingering/chords aren't a problem XD. Such a hard decision, but if I HAD to choose between all the sizes, it would be between a concert and tenor.
If you have every played a high quailty barritone high the neck it is a joy to hear. Lots more string length to vibrate. Then compare that to a soprano, not much ringing in comparison.
I'm not claiming to be an expert by any means, but I've found that the lower string tension of a concert offsets the extra string length of a tenor in this regard.
