Seems to me like there are less new models and stuff than in other years, at least I haven't found much.

Here is Martin Guitars presenting their new models, including the OXK Concert uke (at 0:56):

Ohana posted their new models for 2021:



Ohana CK-150BWE: Black and white ebony laminate concert

Ohana PKT-220G: Solid mango tenor pinapple

Ohana CK-60CG: Solid mahogany cutaway concert

Ohana CK-390: Solid koa concert (classic Martin style)

Funny - a mango pineapple. Sounds like DNA manipulation.

Alvin "Pops KoAloha" Okami is now making all of his Masterpiece Collection exclusively through www.UkeSAHawaii.com. He is currently working on bringing back the Sceptre which he has not made in over 10 years. These new Sceptre will have ebony fretboard and the return of the ebony crown bridge. Also a new headstock and inner label from Pops showing that each is made custom by Pops, himself. We can now get sceptre and Pineapple Sunday in tenor, Concert, or even standard size, with a choice of woods and crown bridge. For those in Europe, Southern Ukulele Store will also be carrying these new ukes from Pops. Pops is also expanding his line of Soprano scale ukes.

looks like amahi has a bunch of plastic (ABS) body ukes, with offset and side sound holes, matching black neck and presumably plastic fretboard. price appears comparable to flights. shame about those uber cheap looking tuners though.
