Offhand, can anyone think of any Tenor Ukes they've played recently (or in living memory) in the $200-$300 bracket that have a reasonable radius to the fretboard ? I hear that the Ibanez are supposed to have, but that seems to be about it.

Sorry for all these questions, but I like to research purchases as much as possible so I'm not walking into a store completely clueless.
 
Take my reply for the very little it is worth but ...

It's my understanding that radiused fretboards are pretty uncommon on 'ukuleles. There are some that make them, and you definitely could get them from customs, but factory, mass-manufactured, and most K brands tend to not have them.

At least, that's my understanding. And my experience. I seem to recall every uke I ever played (even just trying them out in stores) as having a flat fretboard.
