I was offered a 8 string solid wood (Mahogany?) Tenor Nahenahe brand 'ukulele. The Nahenahe were made on Maui by Paul & Pam Petersen from 1993 until 2000 when they closed the business to concentrate on their musical careers. I believe competition from the less expensive import MELE 'ukuleles contributed to their decision. They had their shop in the Kahului industrial area, and a beautiful 'ukulele store on Dairy Road about a mile from the Kahului airport. I used to visit their store and druel all over their beautiful 'ukuleles during my lunch breaks. Anyways a local seller has offered his 8 string tenor for $225 including the hard case. He's not sure what kind of wood it is but it looks more like Mahogany than Koa to me. Should I accept the offer? Does $225 sound fair to you? Take a look:
