	H   Madagascar rosewood, 1st grade Amazon rosewood, 1st grade Amazon rosewood, 2nd grade   Madagascar rosewood, 2nd grade Indian Rosewood, unsanded. H   In general, as fingerboards, the rosewoods are known for their stability, beauty and lower (than ebony) prices. To compare them to ebony, they don't have the compression strength, but they don't have the dampening qualities either. Traditionally, use of ebony has been equated with higher end instruments, although in high-end electric guitars, rosewood is often chosen for beauty and not to save a few dollars.    Madagascar rosewood in general has a harder surface than Brazilian or Indian, However, there are several subspecies of Madagascar rosewood, and I've found that the more figured type (so-called "Rio) is the type that suffers from lack of stiffness. The plainer, straighter-grained types seem to be stiffer. These days (Oct '07) the quality of all Madagascar woods is on a downward trend.  1 board in 5 is rejected, 1 in 20 is figured, the remainders are divided 50-50 first and second grade, with a rather broad first grade category. The 1st grade are quartersawn, while the 2nd grades are typically slab sawn. We have added a new category to cover dark/figured because many expect this look in a 1st grade, and it's just not happening, now!    We now offer Indian rosewood fingerboards as a retail item, but we still continue to have them shipped directly from India in larger quantities to factories.  We will soon have Amazon rosewood fingerboards available in quantity, so stay tuned. Very much like Brazilian but harder and heavier, and somewhat brittle, it may be the next good substitute fingerboard for Brazilian/Madagascar rosewood.
