Default Mahogany Differences?

There is allot of discussion about the different sound properties concerning the different Rosewoods. Yet when it comes to Mahogany no one mentions any differences in Mahogany or any sound differences. Tell me what I don't know?

Of course "they" do talk about different mahogany tone. As far as I know, the densest, hardest and darkest genuine mahogany is Cuban and nearly unobtainable by comparison to that from other regions.

Natcherly, it's the best.

Just as with the rosewoods, there's quite a variety of equivalents, look-alikes, pretenders.

Mahogany can run from very light to extremely dense and everything in the middle. A lot of woods today marketed as mahoganies are actually not.
