Considering a new tenor ukulele
 

I'm thinking about upgrading to a better uke, and I'm wondering how to evaluate them as far cost versus quality. I dont know what to look at, as compared to guitar shopping - wood, construction, necks, etc. I'm looking in the $300-$500 range and can't tell much difference when you go up from there.

Or maybe just go with gut instinct?

Check out Kevin these Kelali Ukes (Kevin's Late Life Ukes). I've purchased two and I'm really happy with them. He has an all koa tenor like the one I bought for $550. These hand made and really good quality. Pretty amazing for a hand made instrument. They're beautiful.
