This is the best advice you will get. I don't own a Pono but have a friend who does and it's a really nice instrument.Personally, I'd go with Plan C and get this Pono.

Hi there...
I'm looking for a nice solid tenor uke, and can't decide between the KALA KA-SMHT, or the Mainland Mango Tenor. Also, how is the mainland mango compared to the mahogany and red cedar?
Thanks,
Alex
Between a Kala and a Mainland, I'd always pick the Mainland. I'd opt for the cedar or mahogany, as mango isn't my sound, but that is very subjective.
Personally, I'd go with Plan C and get this Pono.
