I found an old thread addressing this but decided to revisit and see if anything has changed in 10 years.
I watched some uke comparison videos on YT and really couldn't hear much difference in sound quality from uke to uke. A little, but nothing striking. My obvious conclusion was that the reason is my lack of tone discrimination, which is probably true, but I also came across the statement that all YT audio undergoes "compression and equalization" (a bandwidth thing?) which tends to homogenize the tones.
Just wanted to put this out to see where the truth lies and to find out if YT sound comparisons are not valid.
