As someone who prefers 17 inch tenor scales and likes the smaller bodied Ukes, I have played and/or owned at one time or another the likes of Kanile'a, KoAloha, and Kamaka LN Concerts, the KoAloha thin line tenor, the Tiny Tenor, the Mason LN, and pineapple tenors such as Mainland. I have also had some experience with Ono and Kamaka 16 inch scale Ukes.
What have you played, whether it's a high end custom or a low to mid priced Uke off the rack, that would fit into this category?
Give the style, some simple specs such as body depth at the lower and upper bout, overall length, and if possible, some pictures. I am trying to get an idea what else is out there.
I remember Hodge mentioning an Aron Oye that seems to fit this bill. What else?
EDIT: I need to clarify. I am not looking for a smaller body so I can travel with it. I already have a RISA Tenor Stick which is perfect for travel. I am interested in finding a good tenor scale small bodied instrument in general. The desire for small is not for the travel aspect. It doesn't need to be small for travel. I like the way the smaller ones feel when I play it.
Thanks for reading.
