Thanks for all the comments and compliments!
I just got back from the local luthier who put a strap button on for me. He was blown away by the build and sound of this uke. That's wonderful for me to know as I really don't yet have the skills to take this instrument for a full on test drive.
As he said, it projects well, has a very full sound and of course amazing spalted mango which he says, as have others on this forum, is actually quite difficult to build with. He thought the uke was very well finished. He looked inside the body and was impressed with the bracing style.
So all in all, I'm glad I persevered with my search for this particular instrument. There didn't seem to be that many to chose from and cheers to Mim for getting a couple in stock and giving me great service so that I could be the proud owner of this lovely tenor.
