Right all around. Pau Ferro/Morado is not a true rosewood but has a rosewood-like appearance and tap tone. It's dense and non-porous and is supposed to be a great wood to work with because of this. You can get a lot of swirly figure and an overall orange-brown color so guitars made from this can be pretty cool looking. It's edged up in price over the past couple of years.
