Amazaque(aka Ovangkol) is a fantastic tonewood that has virtally gone undetected and is from a sustainable source. An African relative of rosewood, it's a great sounding wood that shares many of rosewood's tonal properties, with a slightly fuller midrange and a top end that is brighter than Rosewood but not quite as bright as maple. I personally love this as a tone wood and is asserting itself as an instant contender Indian Rosewood among unsuspecting players who test-drive it.
