DownUpDick's reply on the "https://forum.ukuleleunderground.co...te-vs-Solid-Mahogany-A-Question-of-Mellowness thread got to thinking about the issue of Mellow versus Bright sounding tone woods. I have a number of different Ukes, made from different woods, and I think I can rank them now after spending a lot of time with them.
Here is how I would order them, from most mellow, to brightest sounding, based on solid top construction:
1. Mahogany
2. Mango
3. Koa
4. Cedar
5. Sinker Redwood
6. Maple
7. Eucalyptus
8. Spruce
How does that ranking conform to your experience?
