It is immensely lighter than grenadilla, and much more comfortable to hold for extended periods of time.

It's also extraordinarily beautiful.

As for the effect on the sound, I happen to firmly believe that the body material is totally irrelevant. Others disagree...it's the oldest debate in wind-dom.

Rosewood does have a tendency to crack a bit more than grenadilla, but with proper care, this should not be a concern.

And did I mention it's gorgeous? (first pic is a Fossati cocobolo oboe and violetwood English horn from their website; other photos are my own personal rosewood clarinet and VERY unstained grenadilla English horn)
