.....until then I will keep you all updated here. Today I sent off a money order to Jerry at Boat Paddle Ukes to get myself my first tenor uke. I am buying a kayak model with mahogany back and sides and a spruce top! there are a couple in front of me but at least I am in line 
He was great. I had a bunch of questions about wood and construction and he kindly answered them all. I also asked if he would look around for a piece of wood that might not be the best looking, ie.. have a little character, that he thought others may not want but still do the job. I like for my ukes to be identifiable when beside similar ukes. It will also be a matte finish. I really like that. I bought a mandolin 13 years ago like that and I think it just gets better looking with age. Can't wait to post pics! Rem
