I can't claim to prefer mahogany, as I have owned no other solid wood 'ukulele and those I have played that belong to other people have only played for a few minutes - not time enough to make a proper comparison.
What I can say is that my Kala mahogany tenor delivers the sound I have in my head when I think "'ukulele", and it is a sound that I like very much. It looks nice.
I have a solid mahogany kala concert I love the mellow sound with worth browns o hated the aquilas! I'm gonna get the same kala but a tenor with electrics and put Golds on it!
I feel the same way about my mahogany Mainland soprano. I can see a concert model in my future.
I feel EXACTLY the same way. I would like a concert and a tenor, but only to play with sizes. I am absolutely happy with the Mahogany sound. And my Mainland.
I only own one uke, a mahogany tenor, and I like it a lot, although I have no frame of reference for ones made out of other woods. But I find myself kinda lusting after a more exotic looking wood.
When I voiced this concern to my husband, he said, "But the mahogany is a beatiful wood." I think he just doesn't want me buying any more ukes.
Actually, it's a Cordoba LaPlaya Donavon Frankenreiter signature model. It's very well made and I'm happy with it.What brand is your tenor? Looks like the Kala but the image us too small...
