Hi Kat. Wise choice. Both the ukes and the tenor guitars are great fun. One of my (far too many) instruments is a no-name "courting guitar" from about 1915. It has 4 strings and is somewhat smaller than a tenor and somewhat bigger than a baritone uke. Apart from the charming name and all it conveys it has been usefull when I've played "medieval style" gigs as it is the same size and shape as guitars from a long time ago. Reason I mention this is that this type of instrument is not that hard to find. There are two presently in Toronto going for about 100 bucks yankee money. My guess is that both Elderly and Mandolin Bros. would have at least one in stock. They are just a bit more delicate than the Martin style tenor guitar. If you get something like this , let me know and I'll help you with the string thicknesses required. Oh and by the way, keep writing positive things in the "cat". They do make a difference, you know.
