I recently retrieved my very first tenor (a Lanikai LU-21TE) back from my girlfriend's house. I left it there many months ago and pretty much forgot about it.
Now mind you I've been playing a Kanile'a K-1 tenor for the past few months.
So I started messing around on the old Lanikai and for some reason it sounded fantastic! So crisp and clear. I would actually compare the tone to that of my Kanile'a. I mean it sounds substantially thinner but the thing is made out of laminate nato..
So how is it that an old Lanikai made out of the cheapest plywood money can by can almost stack up to an $800 solid koa tenor?
Is it just me?
