This rosewood grows in the Amazon River basin in Brazil, it tends to be orange
or reddish brown with darker contrasting streaks while the sapwood is lighter
yellowish clearly demarcated from the heartwood.
Amazon Rosewood is perhaps the closest replacement of Brazilian Rosewood,
generally they are very similar sharing the same great visual and acoustic
properties. Amazon Rosewood has equally a balanced warm sound with full round
basses and crystal trebles, however due to the higher density the notes tends
to come out more clear piano-like with great separation of voices.
One of the few differences is precisely the higher density compared with its
cousin Brazilian Rosewood, people normally distinguish by the light rose-like
scent and by the slight different appearance. This species trees are small, so
it is difficult to get quarter sawn backs. It is not an endangered species yet,
however today Amazon rosewood is rare and has become difficult to acquire, so
it tends to be pricey.
Due to its density it can be difficult to work as other rosewoods like Cocobolo
but it turns and finishes well and can be polished to a high natural lustre.
Amazon Rosewood is a superior tone wood with a great look and acoustic
properties.
