I'm looking to buy my first Tenor Ukulele. I have ukes made of Koa and Mahogany so I'm looking for different wood choices. Leaning toward cedar top but I am open to suggestions. I'd like to keep it under $500. So far I've looked at the Ohana TK-250G and 260G. Also, Mainland has some Tenors at a reasonable price.
What recommendations can you suggest?

Thanks!

Lots of great options you'll find here. As a begineer I will throw in the  Lohanu Ukulele Tenor Size as a suggestion. But the beginner package includes everything needed: strap, tuner, case, two picks, pick holder, extra set of Aquila strings, and even free online video lessons.

I got my Cordoba 15CM concert size ukelele from Sweetwater. I think it is all laminate but I am newer at ukelele than I am at guitar so it's a good starter uke that I will be playing and practicing on for a while to come. So far I have not gotten "Ukelele Acquisition Bug" like with guitars and guitar stuff.
