In reply to Buleria74: Everyone has his own experience and opinion regarding tonewoods for negras, and I certainly would not challenge anyone's opinion expressed in answer to your question. Speaking for myself, however, in 2007 I had a flamenca negra made to my specifications by Vicente Carrillo using Madagascar Rosewood for the back and sides. I can tell you without hesitation that its tone equals, and perhaps exceeds, any negra I have heard or played using Indian Rosewood. Additionally, the Madagascar Rosewood has a beautiful reddish hue, in contrast to the Indian Rosewood which usually is very dark. Cheers, Bill
