Agree. Pono is now selling what it calls a tenor guitar, for lack of anything else to call it. It was designed and built with nylon strings, so the instrument is differently braced and cannot handle steel-string tension. So, it seems like a larger baritone uke tuned in fifths. Will say this though - the Pono does sound sweet.

Current Stable: Two Tenor Guitars (Martin 515, Blueridge BR-40T), a Tenor Banjo (Deering GoodTime 17-Fret), a Mandolin (Burgess #7). two Banjo-Ukes and five Ukuleles..
The inventory is always in some flux, but that's part of the fun.
