Cocobolo and the Ukulele Site

I had a chance to play the cocobolo baritone and compared it to the anuenue moon bird baritone at HMS. I liked the anuenue more. But taste is subjective.

but, if I'm not mistaken, you can buy 2 Cocobolo baritones for the price of the moon bird baritone-- so maybe not a very fair comparison--

True but for me sound is the most important of all. I personally don’t want to go down the rabbit hole of buying and selling to get the sound I want. But it’s not always more expensive equals better. I got a Pono Kalele Baritone at the same time as well and even though it cost so much less it sounds really great to my ears.

I ordered a Custom ukulele from Cocobolo at the end of November 2023 right after the agreement between TUS and Cocobolo. I'd been in email conversation with Kevin since July 2023. I wanted a 16-1/2" short body tenor. The instrument is their "super-tenor" body with the scooch shorter tenor neck. I'm waiting for the final invoice and then it's off to me.

The pictures Kevin emailed to me are below - I hope he sends a picture with the full front.

The remaining invoice was paid today (A deposit was made last winter).

Here's the Pic of the full front
