I am considering getting another mahogany ukulele. Right now I have a Pono MTD, which I love. I play both high G and low G. I only have one ukulele right now. I am considering another ukulele so that I can have one for high G and one for low G or other alternative tunings.
I love the sound of my Pono MTD, but was thinking that I should buy a Pono MTSH with the radius fretboard or a Ko'olau T100 all Mahogany. I play mostly Jazz style with finger picking and bar chords up and down the neck.
I noticed that the Ko'olau T100 is about 1600 if I do a solid Mahogany body and top. After the bridge pins and radius fretboard, I m thinking that the Uke will be about 1800.
My question is the price to value on the Ko'olau. I'm wondering if the sound is that much better than the Pono MTD. Has anyone had a chance to compare a Pono MTD with an all mahogany Ko'olau T100 .
I found a video of a Ko'olau CS Deluxe Mahogany but the CS has a slightly different shape than the T100, which makes me think that it will have a different tone. Also I'm not sure of type of mahogany they use on the T100 vs. CS Deluxe . Here is the video if anyone is curious https://vimeo.com/99261170 I love the tone of this instrument but it is out of my price range.
Any help would be appreciated.
