Well i can see a parallel  with Ukulele's.
 Soprano concert and tenor Ukes all share the same tuning but are  
progressively longer in scale length. Tenor ukes have gotten more  
popular because, They are louder, have a slightly clearer fundamental  
tone and better intonation than the other two, particularly the tiny  
soprano which are notoriously difficult to intonate . My friend ,  
builder Rick Turner who got in to the business of building Ukes a  
couple of years ago makes only tenors as standard production models  
with his brand Compass Rose.
