I've been lurking in the background for a while now. A novice player, I began on my own in February and have accumulated 5 instruments. The most recent being a custom tenor from Mike Pereira in Central California. This instrument has no added bling with mahogany back and sides and a redwood top. The sound is clear, sweet and bell-like. The turn around time from the date of my order to having it in my hands in SoCal was an amazingly short 3 weeks. Mike is a very easy person to deal with. He answered all my email questions promptly and completely. He sent me frequent photo updates on the progress of my instrument. Highly recommended. http://mpukes.com $770 delivered.
I have 2 minor issues with the uku. It seems to me that the finish on the top is uneven. This may be due to the varying density of the soft redwood. Also, there is a very small (less than 2 mm) ding in the top. I emailed Mike with my concerns and he immediately offered to take the uku back for repair.
Now, I have to clear the closet a bit. So, soon I will have a couple ukes for sale in the marketplace... A Kala KA-S and a KoAloha Pineapple soprano.
I'm going to try to attach some images of my MP tenor.
