I love the look of Koa...I just can't gel with the tone. It's a gorgeous wood to look at...but I find it to be tonally very 2-dimensional.
When I bought a uke (concert) I tried a handful of them and ended up with an ebony uke.
My son tested several different ukes when we bought him his own and he chose a walnut uke.
Not sure if that helps.
