A lot of makers sell Acacia instruments as a similar alternative to Koa. I think this is all marketing, and my fellow uke lads and lasses should be aware. I have a koa soprano and it sounds clear and bright, yet full unlike spruce and really loud. I bought an acacia tenor and it was kind of disappointed that it was pretty quiet and so soft sounding, like it was being muted. I went through a million strings and finally settled on fremonts to brighten the sound, but the softness is definitely still there. Because of that experience I thought hey yaknow what, this sound would probably pair really well with a soprano, so I bought an acacia soprano from the same maker (Koaloha), and it's perfect. I love it so much, it's sweet and smooth, but it is absolutely nothing like my koa soprano. I wish I had known this before diving in and buying random instruments based on sound clips, so now you know....
I think I've made my mind which kalimba I'm going to buy, but I thought I'd ask the community for this one last piece of advice - does the wood matter in this case? These are the two I'm now choosing between:
Gecko is Mohogany
Moozica is Acacia Koa
The price is actually the same and I can't decide... It's driving me crazy :P The difference is the wood. Both have warranty, both have excellent opinions. Gecko has many videos on YouTube, Moozica doesn't have any videos, but has many good reviews on Amazon.
So, as recommended, I went back and bought the rest of the Koa/acacia that they had available. Here's a link to the picture . Got all 4 for $74. Dimensions are listed under the pictures. I'm keeping the top piece for my collection, but if anyone has a need for this type of wood I'm sure we can work out something for any of the other pieces :-) I have a table saw, so if no one wants any of the pieces whole I can cut them into square dowels if that's better.
Hi! So I've been playing the use for awhile and I found a solid koa top uke for 99 dollars. I even comes with accessories. My guard is way up, but is there an actual chance this is legit? Heres the link:

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!

Pilot on me!!
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
