After everyone's advice, I will be going to the music store to try the fit of a tenor for me. Still doing my research in case indeed I decide a tenor feels better than the concert.
I have broken it down to three so far, but still doing research. I like the process of elimination, so will be subtracting and adding as I go.
So here are the three so far. These are from Mim's site.
The Ohana Tk-15WG. Specifically the #.699 she has available. $169.00. Right around the price range I'm looking at. I'm curious that there isn't much out there on the web for this one. It's a nice looking instrument but I can't seem to find any videos on it to determine the sound. Found one video for the same in matte I believe. Anyone familiar with this one?
The Kala K-Eby-T. $184.99. The exact one I was looking at must have been sold. But sure she will have more that catch my eye. I really prefer a gloss.
Lastly, the Kala Ka-Zct-t her #M445. $250.00. Beautiful but a little out of my price range. I want to commit to buying a decent instrument but $250 and above will be my 2-3 year upgrade. I'm trying to talk myself out of this one...not sure I'm successful yet...
I found the video that shows examples of 9 different tenors. I can't seem to really hear too much difference, but I'll be listening again and see if there are any that I want to add to my list. I do like the slightly deeper tone of the tenor, and from one brand to another, I prefer a deeper, I call it more "chocolatey" sound to it. But I'm not too keen on the base ukes.
I just read a response to my previous post regarding 1.5 nut on a tenor. I'll have to take this into consideration as well.
Anyhow, thanks in advance for your input!
