...what sub-species of acaica is being used ??
I own a very nice Larriveé guitar made with Australian Blackwood (Acacia Melanoxylon) also sometimes known as Tasmainain Blackwood.
This is a very well respected tonewood in the guitar world (Taylor has also used it). From my research concering custom guitar builders, some of them prefer the Austrailian Blackwood to Koa for its sound qualities.
After many recent weeks of research on the ukulele use of 'acacia', I can find no references as to which of the many species of acacia is being used by the current ululele builders like Kala. I also can not find any 'tonewood' references to Mimosa or Shower Tree.
After a couple of years with my Pono Tenor PT...(Sapele, not mahogany) I want to add another tenor for a different voice and keep in other tuning...ie one re-entrant and one LowG.
Thanks..
