I would like to purchase a wooden, tenor resonator uke.
1) Do you have any recommendations as to which one to purchase (and web site if available)?
2) Do you happen to know how a wooden tenor resonator uke compares to non-wooden tenor, resonator ukes, such as the highly recommended ones made by Beltona in New Zealand?
Thanks.

I ran across this one a few months back. It's a Mya-Moe' Tenor resonator made of Mango and available at Elderly. Unfortunately, I have no experience with a Resonator and can't make a recommendation.
 
Thanks for pointing our attention to the Mya-Moe Kanaka916. I haven't heard of them before. Looks like a very nice Tenor resonator. Has anyone one the board tried one or read any reviews?
 
Note though that Pete's prototype has a different reso cone than he'll be using for his production reso's... and the cone makes a huge difference in the tone.

You could also try Peter Hurney of Pohaku Ukuleles in Berkeley, CA:

His ukes are custom made.

Then there are the Mya Moe' tenor reso's in stock at elderly.com. Don't know anything about them but they shure look cool:

It's pretty hard to find tenor resonator ukes so those Mya Moe's look pretty attractive even at $1250 a bop! Otherwise there are the less expensive and very wonderful Beltona Songster Tenor Resonator ukes.

If you're interested in a Beltona Songster Resonator uke, let me know...


Go to Pete Howletts website: uklectic.com

He makes a beautiful wooden resonator - sound sample here:

His instruments are supposed to be top notch! sure sounds like they are.
