Greetings UU'rs
I have a friend who wants to get a Tenor uke. He is a fairly accomplished guitar player and is a stickler on quality instruments and owns several. So the uke will most likely be one of the production K brands or potentially a custom. I have warned him about the length of time a custom could take to build. I don't think "bling" is too important to him, sound and playability is. Although, at this point, I'm not sure what kind of sound he's looking for. Don't think he knows either since he's new to ukes.
He is about 6'4 and has large hands, big fingers. He likes the nut width of my Kanilea which is 1.5". I've heard many people talk about Pono's having beefier necks, but have no idea on the nut width. Although I'm not sure he would go for an Asian made uke.
I know Rick Turner's Compass Rose ukes are aimed at guitar players which would be an option. Don't know the specs or his back log.
At this point nut width is important. What uke brands have 1.5"+ nut widths? (Tenors) Any suggestions would be great
