Hiya, I hope i dont piss people off with my very post but im trying to source a new uke which fits my green morals! Maybe im wrong, as even after extensive internet searching i cant find any information on this, but i remember save the rainforest campaigns in the 80s and 90s saying that we shouldnt buy tropical hardwood (ie mahogany, ebony, rosewood etc.), and up till now i have always done this. Yet I need to upgrade my mahalo plywood uke and everything seems to be made of these woods. Ive tried emailing a few suppliers about thier green cedentials but i just get fobbed off. Does anyone know of environmentally conscious makers/suppliers?! (Ive heard of someone who makes bamboo ukes but they are out of my price range),or am i overeacting and you can now get farmed tropical hardwoods?
Any information appreciated.
