If you have a laminated uke, the instument is immediately dismissed as having little merit musically. Even ukes with a solid wood soundboard like mine, are disparaged by those who swear (despite no evidence, and even some to the contrary) that all solid ukes have a much better tone. It would be interesting if someone were to produce an all laminated uke which sounded so superb that they couldn`t ignore it. There is a lot of snobbery in the ukulele world.

It's acacea, the same family as Koa Also you have to take into consideration where they are manufactured. Oscar Schmidt is made in China as is Ohana, Bushman and many others.
