My Mainland concert is a Solid Mahogany. I didn't know anything about uke brands when I bought it. I really love it. I swapped out the Aquila strings for some Living Waters. That threw off the intonation, but Donna LoPrinzi put in a slightly higher bridge saddle, and I am back in business! The Mainland really is a workhorse (and looks lovely as well). A very good choice in my opinion.
