Just got back from Nashville Indiana. Spent close to two hours in Mike and Tookta's store playing every tenor they had. Even strummed a few baritones. It was well worth the 200 mile trip (each way) I wanted my next uke to be one I could try out in person instead of ordering on the internet.
It was really a tough choice between the red cedar and the mango but the red cedar won out. Nice bright yet full bodied tone and sustain that goes on forever. When I strum a chord there is real good definition between the notes in the chord instead of a blur of notes (hope that made sense).
The folks at mainland were very patient with me as I traded back and forth from one uke to the next and back again. over and over.
They gave me a good price on the uke and a hard case, so I left very happy.
I'll try to get some pics up soon.
