This is such a great forum! I'm a noobie (former clarinet player), and I'll be buying my first ukulele next week from great and wonderful MGM. I've settled on a concert scale ukulele and I'm trying to decide between a Kala solid mahogany concert uke and a Kala solid acacia uke.

I've searched the very helpful review forum and watched a bunch of YouTube videos linked from this forum. I'm still wondering a little about the difference in sound (if any) between solid mahogany and solid acacia (I hope to be able to test drive both this weekend). MGM has been great about answering questions to help me narrow my choices. If you have any thoughts about either or both of these ukes, or acacia and mahogany in general (anything - sound differences, wood durability and care, even how the woods look), I would be grateful if you posted them here. I promise to post a photo on this forum of the uke I buy once it gets here. Thanks in advance!
