Yeh,
I saw that show on PBS also. Pretty cool video of a clarinet bell exploding in
the lathe from a crack that went too far.

Dan,
How's the Heart?
Does Mpingo have a darker sound than East African (lower east side) grenadilla
if dropped from a 15 story building?

"Mpingo" is the dialect name (for whatever dialect is involved) for
what is called in English, "African Blackwood" or "Grenadilla."
