Morado or Bolivian Rosewood

Morado or Bolivian Rosewood

Machaerium Schleroxylon
Sometimes Called Pau Ferro

Morado, commonly referred to as Brazilian Rosewood. In many case it is sold as a substitute for Brazilian Rosewood. Be aware it is not a Dalbergia and does not have the same sound properties. I guess because it comes from Bolivia & Bolivia is close to Brazil.
Don't be fooled.

Pau Ferro, Morado or Bolivian Rosewood is not expensive, The piece pictured on this page is a beautiful example. Most of it is a dull Greyish Taupe Color. It does not usually compliment the inlays and it is being sold by several boutique makers as "The Holy Grail"

BS To That.

It doesn't sound bad, but it is being sold for too much money !!!!
