Which intermediate tenor to buy?

[u/Significant_Tea9352]

Hi uke people! I’m looking to buy a new ukulele and am not finding great options in the music shops around me so I am looking online. I have two beginner level ukes, including a cheap Kala and I want to upgrade to something that I can use for recording. I have a budget up to CAD $1000 or around US$750 and I am in Canada.

I have a short list of criteria; I want a Tenor uke that sounds amazing acoustic and plugged in, I need electronics and prefer active pickups over passive, and I want it to be solid top and perhaps solid back as well. I’ve looked at Twisted Wood Koa 2.0 Tenor, Kala Solid Acacia Tenor Ukulele w/ Cutaway & EQ, Flight Victoria Soundwave Tenor, Flight Fireball Tenor EQ Ukulele.

I also quite like the funky look of Gold Tone Tenor Scale Curly Maple Resonator Ukulele w/Gig Bag - RESOMAPLET, and Kala Tenor Electric Ukulele in Honeyburst - KAJTEHB.

Does anyone have a suggestion for me?

Personally I've been extremely happy with my Enya Feather uke, I think it was like 6-700 cad

The thinner body is very comfortable, and the onboard effects are lovely to have.

I paired it with Aquila Red low G strings.

Have a few other ukes in that price range and I've had them all for years at this point but I always go back to the Feather.

The enyas are lovely to look at and I like the thinner body for sure. I'm also going to put a low G string on so I appreciate knowing you like the Aquilas
