bubinga
This tree species is considered endangered.
Bubinga or African rosewood is hard, heavy and beautifully grained wood of evergreen trees from Western and Southern Africa, closely related to ovangkol. It is used for furniture and musical instruments.
Appraisal
It is a bit denser than rosewood, which may contribute to its great sustain and clarity. Provides sustain and note separation with warm even tones, bright midrange, and a sparkle across the entire spectrum.1)
