Can someone please give me a good comparison between the two. I understand that Bubinga is becoming more popular these days. Is it the tonal characteristics of the wood? I see that Bubinga is also known as African Rose Wood, is this the same material that is now being used for marimba's ?

Bubinga, kevazingo, kewazingo, African rosewood
I did Google some photos and it showed Drums Guitars, xylophones etc.
