I've never heard of this type of wood. What are it's characteristics?

I believe the true name is "Paulownia" and it is usually used for making the soundboard of stringed instruments in the Orient.

Yep Paulownia. Light, cheap and plentiful in the far east.

Actually, I believe the stringed instrument this Paulownia wood is most commonly used on is the Japanese Koto. I could be wrong, but that is probably why Western companies refer to it as Koto wood.
