Tenon Industrial Co.

Tenon Industrial Co.
Tenon Industrial Co. In a Taiwanese manufacturer and distributor of musical instruments founded in 1979 with a head office in Taipei, Taiwan and a branch office and possibly a factory in Tian Jin, China.

Tenon Industrial Co. make a full range of musical instruments under a variety of different brand names. The main brand name for most of their instruments is Château. They make Ukuleles under this brand name too, but their main international Ukulele brand is Leho.

The website for Leho doesn't have a lot of information beyond telling you Leho means sea shell in Hawaiian, and it only shows Soprano, Concert and Tenor scale, (though I have seen a Leho Baritone), Ukuleles in a number of woods and string options. It also says all of the good ones have a special arched back design to minimise bracing and maximise the sound. In addition to the standard models there is a Ukulele Bass, a Guitalele and a round bodied model that is made to look similar to a traditional Chinese Ruan. Beyond the standard models there are some limited edition models with inlaid tops too, but the designs that changes over the years, and some more budget branding ranges. There is MyLeho used for all plastic or spruce toped, plastic bodied Soprano Ukuleles and Aleho for a range of all laminate wooden Ukuleles with a shell shaped sound hole

Going back to the range of Château Ukuleles which are much more limited in their international presence.

The Tenon Industrial Co. website says they also do OEM work too.
