It’s more dense and harder than East Indian or Brazilian Rosewood.

you can't tell the difference imo. Plus almost all makers today will core hi-figure woods anyway. Construction has WAY more to do with how it hits.
 
Only slightly topic-related...

Isn't cocobolo the one that kicks up some pretty nasty dust? The kind where a respirator is almost a necessity??

The genus is Dalbergia, lots of varieties in that genus. Just to mention some of the spectrum BRW, African Blackwood and Tulipwood are all rosewoods, so in Latin: Dalbergia Nigra, Dalbergia Melanoxylon and Dalbergia frutescens
