What is the best wood for violin pieces: rosewood, boxwood or ebony?

Spare violin pegs, chinrest, Part tail and the bottom end I read the ebony is the better one … But aesthetically I prefer rosewood … What do you think?

I prefer Ebony whole way. I do not care much TP to reach professional level and you need to get absolutely the best sounding violin possible. When I was competing in Jugend musiziert advised me not to use my violin and so had boxwood violin and was not a particular good or good. The density and hardness of ebony is favorable if you play hard, the sound of the strings is not as strong influence, and I think the ebony shoulder rests are more comfortable. Again, everything depends on the frequency with which to play. I could make a big difference in bu first if you practice 5 hours a day you'll realize.
