Then we have the nut woods usually being dark. Since a Marine Band is light and chromatics are dark, I don't understand how they could be the same wood? As for taste, I have done a lot of wood working and the sawdust from each of those woods tastes like what I think they are. Teak, rosewood, gums, ash, oaks, maples, etc. all have their own unique tastes. I happen to like sasafrass. lolol  (Btw, metals also have their own tastes).
