My wife and I were just spending a weekend in Wilmington NC and went to the NC ukulele academy. I had called Kent in advance because I wanted a lesson. While we were there we bought a dolphin for our 17 month old grandson for christmas. He loves the uke and I know this will be a big hit. Anyway, the next day we went back. Well, she went shopping elsewhere and I hung out there to totally scour the store to see if I really "needed" anything. I started playing a Teton. I have been considering getting one but it is not really a need, just fun to rock out on. She came back to the store to get me (or to check to see if I was ever going to leave) and bought me this tenor as an early holiday gift! Wow!!! I am supposed to wait till christmas to get it but that will never happen! Ha! It is a blast to crank up and play. One bad problem about an amplified instrument is it amplifies your mistakes too! Now my question is what strings? Any suggestions?
