Pono Offering Indian Rosewood Bodied Ukes Again

Two of my favorite tenor wood combinations are a Spruce or Cedar top with a Rosewood body. There are some new Pono tenors on HMS' TUS (The Ukulele Site) with Indian Rosewood bodies and Cedar tops.

My all-time favorite Pono is my RTC(S)-PC Englemann Spruce top and Rosewood body cutaway Tenor. Lovely, balanced and very musical sound.

My rosewood/cedar soprano Pono is truly something special. I love that thing.

Same here. Despite owning several fine custom ukes, the ones that I want to pick up every time I play are my Pono RBSHC-S (Rosewood Spruce Baritone with Cutaway) and my ETSHC-C (Ebony Cedar Tenor with Cutaway). Glad to hear that Pono is now making these models again. Now I only wish they'd drop the rope rosettes. I understand why they stopped using Abalone (too much hassle to ship internationally), but instead of the rope, I'd wish they'd be using something like Herringbone or maybe a Spanish type rosette.
