Hi all, new to the forum...I have been taking uke lessons for about 8 months and have one of the earlier Islander concert ukes. Great fun with a low G. Recently I decided to get a tenor and found a Cocobolo sapwood uke. The best I can describe playing it is like a buttery feel to the instrument and the resonance. I don't have a musical background, but that's the feel of it to me. The dang thing vibrates my body too.
Does anyone know much about sapwood in general? Wasn't it discarded for a long time in guitar-making, considering it junk?
