New Uke Day (NUD) Romero Creations TT-M Tiny Tenor Mahagony

[EllenInTheSix]

I finally got a Tiny Tenor that I’ve been eying for a looong time but didn’t feel I was worthy of getting yet and that it’s quite difficult to get being in Toronto, Canada as it’s my highest priced uke so far. Delivery was quite the fiasco and struggle dealing with UPS for 2 weeks with both delivery attempts and import issues. But luckily I purchased it from Bentley Guitars and Mark was fantastic to work with and he helped me through the ordeal. It came perfectly setup with low action and in pristine condition. I think this TT has stopped my UAS.. for a while at least

Nice. Very attractive mahogany. Enjoy it.

Sorry you had a hard time with the shipping.

Congrats on your new acquisition. Beautiful uke!

I have a TT in Koa, and I love it. The sustain is incredible.

Thanks! Yes I can really hear the difference between this and my other ukes. Koa must sound incredible. I was actually bout to post a new thread about TT case questions. Did you upgrade yours to a hard case?

No, I still use the original case. It does a fine job.

Ah..is yours the gig bag version or the poly foam hard case version that looks like a Uke Crazy case with Romero Creations branding? Guess I’m more concerned for humidity protection when we get to our dry winter climates up here in Toronto.

Gosh, I'm not sure. I think it's the gig bag version.

Yup, that’s the gig bag version..Same one that mine came with. This is the foam hard case I saw from the Romero site:

Thanks..I will! Yeah that’s life..I’m used to it online shopping from Toronto.

Congrats, to you, EllenInTheStix! I like it.

I think the Tiny Tenor is simply an adorable ukulele. Congratulations!

You might have a hard time finding a hard case to fit that shape, though. Perhaps email Romero Creations for a suggestion?

Oh! I thought Bytown carried RC TTs? But maybe at a higher price or didn't have the one you wanted...

Oh yeah I saw that but with additional shipping costs bringing it to over CAD $1000, I was looking for better options and I’ve always found better prices in the US even considering duties.

The Concert Size Uke Crazy hard foam/canvas case [Below] holds my TT really well. The waist of the double bout cutout foam interior holds the sides perfectly. It's just the right length for the body and overall. The heel and butt strap pins fit in as well.



The Tenor "Signature" Romero Creations Gig Bag is too big, but very well made. If they don't have a TinyTenor specialty bag, the Concert size might fit it. But they should have a bag for it. The TT is one of their biggest sellers. It won't keep the humidity in as well as a hard case.

A concert size hard case may fit it. Unfortunately, I don't have one to try.

A Fremont rectangular concert hard case will certainly fit it.

 

[EllenInTheSix]

Thanks for the pic..That’s good to hear that your uke crazy concert case fits your TT well..I’m finding mine to have no clearance at all between the top tuners and the stiff foam edges as the walls are pushing up against the tuners..So I might adjust the walls first of my Uke Crazy and check with Romero on their TT foam hard case options too

Wow. That's insane. Well I sure am glad you found what you want for cheaper!

Thanks! It's a double-edged sword living here sometimes cuz it helps curb my UAS spending when things are so pricey up here, but makes me hunt more for deals in the US!

This model is one of my favorites for "future reference." I'm wondering how it's going for you now that you've had it a few weeks?

I really like it..it's a sweet tone for fingerpicking and the fret and string spacing is comfortable. I still need to install the strap button though which will make it even easier to play. I just wish that my playing was alot better to really bring out the optimal sounds from it
