I finished a ukelele several months ago... Bunya Pine top, Tassie Blackwood back and sides, Victorian Ash neck, Malasian Rosewood bridge mount - bone bridge and nut, maple binding, Bunya Pine bracing. See post here a few months ago.
It's loud and it has a really nice warm tone (except for a little string buzz that I can't figure out where its coming from)
I've almost fished a second ukelele (one for each of two daughters) - the design is identical - except that the top is made of Western Red Cedar.
I can't wait to try them side by side...
