I realize that it's the ukulele builder that makes a great ukulele. But still, different woods produce different sounds.
Cocobolo is a beautiful wood that is both denser and stiffer than almost all woods, including ebony. This does not work in its favor for sound energy, yet most folks seem to love their cocobolo ukuleles. Since a cocobolo uke is on my to-buy-someday list, my question is this:
Comparing it as best one can to other tone-woods (koa, mahogany, spruce, etc.) how loud is yours and where does it fall in the warm-bright spectrum of sound?
