I am considering purpleheart wood for sides and back of a uke. Purpleheart is strong and stiff but seems to be used mostly for accents and binding. Is there any problem with using it for sides and the back? Would it be more likely than popular woods for problems down the road?
I imagine a uke made with it (+ spruce top) would be very bright sounding.
Would anyone recommend it or avoid it?
