Spoiler Alert! Pepe Romero has posted a picture on Instagram with the new models of his import line which he will be showing at the NAMM show next week:

Here is what I spot, from left to right:
While the different guilele models have already been eagerly discussed in this forum (here), the two last models are entirely new: So far, Romero Creations made the triangular shaped Tiny Tenor, ST Concert and XS Soprano, along with a Replica of Pepe's custom tenors. But what the picture shows is that they will now offer a regular figure 8 shaped concert and soprano! Well, kind of regular: The body looks longer and the bridge placed higher than on other ukes.

I made the bodies as large as possible and used a short headstock. This creates a large resonating box and still fits the traditional dimensions of length and scale of a Concert and Soprano. I took a normal body and enlarged the lower bout… They sound great!
