Members Stackabones Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 http://www.fender.com/ukes/ Looks like the three (!) new models will all be tenors. I've seen prices from $200-300. They are supposed to be in stores yesterday, Jan 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't anything off the islands considered non-traditional? Gotta wonder about the uke market if Fender is getting involved. Do they know something that we don't know?

I played a soprano for about a year-plus, and when I just recently got the tenor -- lightbulbs went off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No...I have tried a baritone but I really want to try a concert or tenor too because I wasnt to keep using the gCEA tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a baritone, and to me it didn't really make me feel like I was playing a uke. I used DGBE ... perhaps if I had used the re-entrant version of dGBE? Oh, well, my bari uke is super crapola. I love love my archie tenor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
