Hello All,
I am looking at buying another Pono Pro Classic Tenor. Just love the product at its price point.
I have a choice with respect to a few options and one has extremely wide grain and the other tight grain.
I understand the dark lines are the winter growth and the wider section is the summer growth ...
I am curious as to what a wider grain effect will be on tone. I am looking to buy it from a retailer at a distance so I won't have a chance to sit with them and play them thoroughly before buying.
The Tenor with the wider grain has a cutaway, and I might fancy a cutaway since my other Tenor isn't. The tighter grain Tenor has a beautiful back and side and is a little cheaper due as it is a second.
Does anyone have any theory, experience or hard facts to help me with my decision?
Thanks for your thoughts.
