DUDE,,,, some insane playing!!!

[50nollieman]

i have a question.Please reply. So i was wondering what wood is better sounding......hawaiian koa or zebrawood? also what is the difference between "curly," and "laminated" koa wood?

[Pinoyako11705]

@50nollieman Hawaiian Koa = best wood for Ukulele. Some guitar woods like Mahogany and Spruce, are not really meant for the Ukulele's small size and pitch. "Curly" is an adjective used to describe the visible texture of the Koa wood, it has nothing to do with the sound it will make. "Laminated" = more than one peace of wood "laminated" together. The opposite of "laminate" is a "solid" wood. Laminate = cheaper, less sound quality, sound doesn't change, Solid = opposite of that.

Sounds to me like the Ko'olau is the softer sound, Kamaka has the tinnier kine sound, and the Kanile'a has the fullest.

But all are da kine.

[Pinoyako11705]

@SoCalOski I agree with the Kanile'a observation

[TaastyTom]

Fuck man, make a lesson about that last song! That was an amazing song!

[PhilUSAFRet]

Not sure any one sounds better, just different. It's what's sonically pleasing to your ear. They are all great.

[vanceoliver]

What song are you playing around 2 minutes? I definitely recognize it.

It sort of reminds me of a song off of one of the Final Fantasys I think.

@vanceoliver Final Fantasy X OST : To Zanarkand
