I know a lot of you use different ukuleles for different songs or different styles of playing, and that these differences include both scale sizes and wood types.
Now, I personally love mahogany (and not just for the uke!) -- I love the color, the smell, the grain, and the warm, mellow tone. Heck, I even love the word "mahogany" itself. Even though koa wood is fantastic and I easily drool over any well-made solid koa uke, if I had to choose between two identical solid-wood soprano models with different wood -- koa or mahogany -- I would probably take the 'hog.
Out of curiosity, which tonewood is your favorite? Or, more accurately, which type of wood gives you the sound you like best from a ukulele? (Combinations are excluded from the poll, but can be lumped under the "Other" category, for convenience's sake, I guess.)
