It's a budget priced, solid mahogany top ukulele--if you can get one (availability is limited by the Pandemic).
Aiersi SU-0024TB Concert Ukulele Review
- Thread starter UkeStuff
- Start date
High G (re-entry) sounds twangy on this uke (maybe it's the recording). Good highs, okay middles, barely discernible lows. Sounds like a soprano more than a concert.
Solid mahogany top -- but which "mahogany"? African, Honduran, sapele, or what? It just seemed to lack Swietenia mahogany's fullness and warmth, but maybe I'm asking too much from a low-priced instrument.
IMO, lots of woods being called "mahogany" nowadays are NOT Swietenia species (genuine mahogany) but are, instead, mahogany cousins. or other distant relatives, or look-similars.

Not too shabby!
If only I had someone to buy it for. We have a cousin, but at nearly 5 she would be better of with either a laminate, an HPL or a plastic ukulele.

Thanks for the link. I always enjoy learning about trees. I'm a retired arborist, but have never seen a mahogany tree, as they don't grow here (in the States).

I agree with all of your points. We’ll probably never know the provenance of the mahogany. And it does have a lot of bark of a soprano.
Here is where you imagine all the tree puns I’m not making.

Incidentally, the concert and tenor versions of this are available on Amazon for $34. These are NOT referral links...just if anyone wants to play the "ukulele lottery" to see what they really get. The tenor as pictured seems to be another brand (Aiersi makes ukuleles for other companies).
