My Mahogany Sunburst Kinnard tenor arrived today. I thought the Kinnard Road Trip Uke was wonderful, but this tenor has exceeded all my expectations. Had to go off to work today (drat), so only had a brief session playing it this morning.
I was lucky to call dibs on this tenor first. It is drop-dead gorgeous, without flaw! The sound is so smooth with deep, mellow bass and clear treble. I've played a lot of great sounding ukes, but this Kinnard Mahogany Sunburst tenor is unique and with a tone like fine chocolate (sweet, dark, with perfect resonance and sustain). It is everything I hoped for in this instrument. John Kinnard is truly a gifted luthier.
Here's a short sound sample right out of the box (B tuning).

Thought to add a few other sound samples:
