The comparison is not the best. You have different strings on different Ukuleles.
If you play a mahagony Kiwaya with Worth Strings and a Koa Kiwaya with worth Strings, so you can make a real comparison.
-
mahogany is quite a dark coloured wood, so the first ukulele is probably made out of mahogany
-
the second one looks like mahagony
-
what mix of songs is he playing?

Dude, you are using different strings to do the comparison. It should not be that way, and you probably already know, string affect the sound greatly. So your video not only compare the wood, but the strings too.

The strings also make a big difference.
I have two identical Makala dolphin bridge ukes. (One is being given as a Christmas gift.) One has aquila strings and the other has the factory strings. These two identical ukes sound completely different.
I assume that the second uke in your video has white aquila strings. This can account for the warmth of the sound as compared to the first.

The difference in sound is not just because of the woods, numerous other factors are different between those two.
