It is native to South America. Google it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telemaster03 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I once had a classical guitar that had Jacaranda back and sides. It sounded really good and smelled nice, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rar Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 where was jacaranda mentioned? never mind, i saw it on the youtube description. that has to be a mistake.... The common name for Brazilian rosewood(dalbergia nigra) in Brazil is "Jacarandá da Bahia". As a result, it's not uncommon for "Jacaranda" to get misused in English for Brazilian rosewood. I didn't see a date on the website, but this an old one, maybe old enough to be Brazilian. (If it is Brazilian, 700,000 yen is an very good price.) -- Bob R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
