Aloha,
Thinking about the fretboard Material of my New custom Ukulele.
What would you prefer, and why?
Beside the optimal, ebony is said to be harder and heavier - does this make a real difference?
Mahalo,

What about the possibility of Neither One? Both ebony and Rosewood are non-indigenous trees.( they do not grow in the USA). If you are planning a trip and the trolls stop your ukulele because you have no evidence some person has not illegally imported those woods, your uke may be seized. LesStansell Les Stansell Guitars willget you to him through a Google search. He sells and uses pistachio nut wood from California. H,e says it is a stable as ebony,,,and lots less expensive, and is a not threatened tree grown in the USA.
