I wanted to ask this question of those that have built ukes with redwood tops. Sinker redwood is in vogue and has been sexy for a while and very popular
From a strictly sonic point of view do you notice any difference between sinker redwood and non-sinker redwood. Does sinker sound any better or are we paying upcharges for just looks alone. I have read that sinker can vary greatly in tone because of how much mineral deposits have been absorbed.
If you were building for best sound as a top priority would you choice one over the other. Thanks
