I was under the impression that there was a hiatus of some sort regarding the Akulele, but if not, there ya go!
Yes, modern Taropatch ukulele's are tenor scale. Before you go too far down the road wanting a Concert scale Taropatch have a quick look for strings. Tenor scale 8 string sets are readily available for tenors, there's even some Baritone 8 string sets. My search for Concert 8 string sets didn't turn up anything. I'm not sure if anyone is in a hurry to bring yet another variant of the ukulele to market.

I use one set of Worths on mine, enough for 2 sets. Not into the octave tuning, but as was posted, there are sets for those. There's a huge difference in the playability/sound/feel between tenor/concert scale "taropatch" ukes, and I'd like to remind Anthony that the original taropatch was concert size, if not soprano earlier than Martin(?)
, so the variant here is really the tenor. (yeah, I know, it's more popular, everyone's tooled up, whaddyagonnado..)
Tenor, concert, I think at this point in the evolution, the tenor may be called a taropatch without prejudice, though many still consider only the concert size true to the word. Sooner or later, we'll all be dead and our antiquated terminology with us.... oooooo, what a thought!
Another thought, Arron Keim made a concert taropatch that I donated to the first Milwaukee Ukefest for a giveaway a few years back, and it was a plain-jane, pretty inexpensive if I recall, may want to contact him, folks should know how to reach him.
