A list and description of the different varieties of
Dalbergia that I use in the shop. All the Traditional Rosewoods are of the
Dalbergia family. I use the word "Traditional" Rosewood instead of
the generally used "True" Rosewood because the only disqualifier from
being a "True" Rosewood that I've been able to corner is that
"Traditionally" some woods were not referred to as "True"
Rosewoods such as African Blackwood. As far as I can tell is has all the
characteristics of the "True" Rosewoods except that it was never
called a "True" Rosewood by the "Powers that Be", whomever
they are or were. I'm not sure how a new
variety of Dalbergia could become a "True" Rosewood given that it
would not have the "Tradition" behind it. So, I will refrain from using the
"Traditional" term of "True" Rosewood, opting to call them
"Traditional" Rosewoods.
