Hi, just wanted to ask a quick question about some of the old Martin soprano ukes. In the video below, he compares a few models.
The 50's style 0's sound almost identical to me, very minimal difference in tone, however when he switches to the style 2's the sound seems immediately thinner and brighter.
It looks like they have different strings but I just wondered if there are other reasons why the sound is so different? As far as I'm aware they are all solid mahogany and same shape, only immediately noticeable difference being the binding. I wondered if the thickness or grade of mahogany changed over the years which changes the sound?
