Hello guys, so I recently visited my local(ish) ukulele shop and they had a Romero Spalted Mango Tenor Replica and I fell in love with the sweetness and tone of it. I went in thinking I was dead-set on the KoAloha Koa Tenor but after playing it back-to-back with the K brands, I sort-of preferred the sound of the Mango.
They unfortunately do not carry Pono so I wasn't able to do a direct comparison so I was wondering what does UU think? I believe they both have pretty thick necks, which I like. My only dislike with the Romero was the glossy neck. Also the 12 frets to the body wasn't that big of a deal for me either.
And on top of that, what about the KoAloha Mango Tenor? I don't see them very often, but I do prefer the KoAloha sound to the other K brands, at least when it comes to Koa.
