I currently have an Ohana Tenor which I have been learning on. It is nice, but then again it's the only Uke I've played. I'm looking to upgrade to a better quality tenor. The more I look the more confused I get. I liked the Koaloha which was about $1,000 and the Moore Bettah which was about $1700. I liked the idea of the side sound port on the Moore Bettah as I am getting up in years and the hearing isn't as good as it once was. I want to get by as cheap as possible but still have a quality easy playable uke that I can keep for years. I am not rushing out to buy anthing yet as I am only in the beginning stages of my search. Would I even notice the different going from $300 uke to a $1000. one. At what pricepoint are you paying for the bling and not the sound. Any input or feedback or other brands to look at will be appreciated.
