I have a student with a Concert size Kala Thinline and it is an excellent sounding uke and pretty loud too. I have another student with a Pono Koa which is very nice and beautiful to look at. Actually, now that I think of it, all 7 of my students have nicer ukes than me. LOL
I can't remember if you mentioned this, but keep in my mind the tenor and baritone ukes are usually tuned differently. The tenor is usually tuned GCEA
and the baritone like the top strings of the guitar DGBE.
All the ukes mentioned by others are good to excellent, and none of them would be a bad purchase. I personally have a Kala Tenor $125 and an $80 Cordoba Protégé concert, (which is a jem for $80)
Good luck!
