Does the type of veneer wood on a laminate have any influence on the sound of a ukulele (that is, compared to a different veneer wood)? For example: will an Islander (Kanilea) tenor sound any different with mahogany ( http://www.theukulelesite.com/islander-by-kanile-a-mt-4-mahogany-tenor-ukulele.html), flame maple ( http://www.theukulelesite.com/islander-mapg-4-t-flame-maple-gloss-tenor.html ), or bamboo ( http://www.theukulelesite.com/islander-mapg-4-t-flame-maple-gloss-tenor-1095.html ), as the veneer?
I own a mahogany, so I know how mine sounds. The others sound different, but I hear that it's difficult (impossible?) to keep all other variables the same in making a sound sample.
If the veneer wood makes a difference, how much difference would that be?
If not . . . I guess it's the look you want?
Thanks for your help.
