Figured Mahogany Is a beautiful and rare variety of genuine mahogany. Though difficult to bend, it shares the same tonal
properties of the unfigured mahogany.

Genuine Mahogany (Brazil) Is yellowish brown to reddish brown in color, exceptionally stable and consistently clear.
It is much lighter in weight than rosewood, koa, or maple but yields a surprisingly strong loud sound with
an emphasis on clear bright trebles.

Koa (Hawaii) Is golden brown in color with dark streaks and a lustrous sheen. Koa wood occasionally develops a curly or
flamed figure. It has a bass response that is slightly less than that of rosewood and treble response that is slightly less than
that of mahogany. The result is a very equally balanced instrument.

Morado (Bolivia) Is also known as Bolivian or Santos "rosewood". It ranges from a light violet brown to reddish brown
in color with occasional olive and black streaks. Finer in texture than most rosewoods, it is a close visual substitute for
East Indian rosewood, and has very similar tonal properties.

Myrtlewood (coastal mountain regions of northern California and southern Oregon) Has the powerful voice of rosewood coupled with all the clarity, brightness and balance of maple. It ranges from an elegant whitish/straight grained look, to yellow/green with flame. Thetonal
personality of Myrtlewood is consistent.
