Very Nice!!!
I just re-read this, and your words hit me good. I have had my moonbird for a while now. It just seems to sound better and better. I play it , it makes ME sound good. My question, do you think the zen smell will disappear in time? Evey.Speaking from experience, it really does help your playing to buy a "better" ukulele. Your playing sounds better. The ukulele is almost always easier to play. The sounds you make on the instrument are nicer inspiring you to play more often. I like my Moonbird a lot.
If you know that a tenor is a good size and fit for you, than go for the UT200. It's a terrific instrument. Clean crisp notes for fingerstyle. Lovely chime and resonance for strumming. The Moon Spruce top gives it excellent projection. While the rosewood body ensures that the sound gets a nice low end to compliment the mids and highs. It's well made and, it's beautiful.
Plus, if you listen very, very carefully as you stand under a full moon on a quiet summer's night you can hear the wolves howling in approval as you play softly in serenade.
It really is an excellent tenor. It will maintain its resale value if for some reason it doesn't work for you.
Since @ukuevey revived this thread, I have to add something about the fragrance of the Moon Bird. I bought an MB soprano a few months ago from another UU member and the fresh spruce scent was the first thing I noticed, as soon as I opened the beautiful blue case.
Nostalgia! The lively spruce scent was the same as my old violin, which was built in Germany in the mid-1700s. (I no longer have it.) Brought back memories! I loved sniffing into those sound holes.
You get the same hit of spruce when you walk into a violin shop. It’s heavenly. If the fragrance stays with violins for centuries, it may stay with a Moon Bird.

Two and a half years later, the spruce smell is still with it. (I bought it used in 2020.)
I am thinking about selling it though. I have to trim my collection for a move to Arizona.
That makes me happy. I was afraid the smell would wear off. The only sense that ukulele doesn’t satisfy is taste. Just taking it out if the case thrills me.
Have you tried licking it?
Good point, I haven’t!
