Hi everyone, I recently bought a Kala KA-15S and I am not satisfied at all of the sound, it sounds more like a high pitched guitar than the real hawaiian ukulele, so I want to buy a new one, a really good one, so I narrowed my search to two types of woods:
Mango or Mahogany?
I searched on the forum and I know that it depends on the type of sound that we want, so here's a link to the song "I believe I can fly" from "me first and the gimme gimmes" (for wich I can't find the tabs haha!) try and listen to the beginning, this is EXACTLY the type of sound I am looking for, the one I hear everyone and that my two last ukes can't reproduce (probably because they are laminates):

So I am calling to you, who tried both mango and mahogany, I know that mahogany is supposed to be the best, but mango looks really good.
Oh, and I live in Canada, so in summer in 35 Celcius and in winter -35 celcius, so would it be dangerous for a hard wood ukulele in mango or mahogany? What if it's kept in a hard case?
THANKS!!
