Wow, this video caught me a lot of flack and critisicm in early 2022 in a particular Ukulele forum. Remember folks these are just my opinions and if you were to make your own videos on the subject I would gladly watch and listen. If you don't agree with what I have to say thats fine but remember my extensive experience on this subject has led me to have strong opinions of my own.
Welcome back. Today we are looking at 5 questions that need answering when deciding which tone wood is right for you... The Ukulele is so unique in that many complex and unusual tonewoods have found prominence in recent years. Many woods like Mango, Acacia and Koa just simply don't have a place in the guitar world but are abundant in ukulele manufacturing.
Sit back and help me decide for you whether you should be looking at contemporary or classic tonewoods.
