So I decided to nab one of the newer Pono models to see what all the fuss about Pono is. I was attracted to this model in particular because first of all it has a cedar top, a radius fretboard, and this one also features a side sound port. I just love the side sound port on my Hoffmann concert; it's like having speakers point right at me (which may or may not be a good thing, lol). If one looks for this model on-line, it is nowhere to be found, so it must be pretty unique (for now anyways).
This one is a tenor and will see how much my playing has grown and if I can reach the cords on this puppy. (had a kala TEM but I found that it was hard to hold and could not barre or reach the chords very well so I gave it to my brother to try- think it was the higher action that discouraged me). That was last year, and now I want to see if I can include tenor scales to my lineup. If not, this one would be very special anyways.
So I will pick it up from the Fed-ex office tomorrow and will check it out. I have high hopes for this. Looking for it to: 1. feel great and 2. sound good. Then again, maybe it should have come with Corey to play it.
Will look to post pix and maybe do a sound sample. If all goes well, this will be my last new uke (yeah, right)...
