Mahagony widely used at Gibson Les Paul electric guitars and Rickenbacker basses. All these instruments are deepest godly sounding instruments with lots of sustain. I dont think there is a room for this wood at lute construction. And it is very heavy and color is hot with deep pores and ability to warp quickly. It has a very high percentage of oil inside also.
Heavier the wood , harder it resonates. Its sound is truly reverse of maple. Umut -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
