Hey I was visiting my sister in MA this summer and had the chance to drive to the Music Emporium and check out the three new Moore Bettah ukes they have in.
I spoke to a really nice guy called Tim who showed me all of the ukes he had. I saw the following:
Mermaid soprano
Mango concert
Very nice looking tenor
EDIT: check it out, the soprano and concert are the top two ukes on the right on this page:

The build quality and attention to detail on the instruments was incredible. My semi-custom Kamaka is well put together but everything on the Moore Bettah is perfect. I particularly liked the design of the soprano and would love a tenor version of it. The binding and inlay work was incredible.
The ukes had side ports as well as the usual sound hole and they sounded really good. The tenor was on a low-g so difficult to compare with my high-g Kamaka as I'm used to that sound but they were loud and clear.
I really advise you to check out a Moore Bettah uke if you can, they're like nothing else! Tim at Music Emporium was really friendly and Chuck's work is awesome. I hope to be able to visit his shop when I'm in Hawaii next year and hopefully get my hands on one of these. I think 2 of the 3 were pre-sold!
