I have two Kala spruce tops and a Makala mahogany laminate. Love the spruce tops. Really nice clear sound and volume and resonation. I have tried Aquilas, Worths, and Southcoastukes linear on my Baris and find I prefer the Southcoastukes linears. Very nice sound. On the Tenor, I use Aquilas, Also nice sound. Lozark
