I guess I was looking in the $300 range. I'd be open to either wooden or graphite bodies. I'm not sure about the metal bodies res-ukes...they seem awfully heavy. BUT-if they sound good I could be open to it.
Right mate. Can't help you there I'm sorry. I have a Mya Moe Tenor Mango Resonator in mint condition I could have offered you, but obviously not in that price range. Have you looked into the Republic resonator models? They sit pretty nicely in that price bracket. I had one of their metal bodied resonators awhile back which sounded great, but like you said, it was sure a heavy beast. Lovely looking though. Hope you get some responses mate.
