I've heard it mentioned a few times that Mya-Moe tenors are smaller as compared to other tenors, suggesting that that might be a relative drawback, but a little bit of research indicated that although they may in fact be a touch smaller, it seems it's a fairly small difference compared to some common brands, both late model and vintage, and one I'm not sure I'd notice. I mean, we're talking at most a half inch or less on body length and/or lower bout width. Now I couldn't find dimensional data for the big 3 K brand hawaiian tenors, and haven't researched all of the other available tenors by any means, so maybe they are in fact significantly smaller than others. Still, I love the size and feel of my Gibson tenor and the Mya-Moe doesn't seem to much different at all so I'm not thinking it's going to be a major problem. Comments?
