(I'm not sure if my article I posted yesterday reached the list. If so
I apologize to post it again.)

I have some questions concerning rosewood clarinets:

I read that clarinets in former times frequently were made from
rosewood. What is the reason that they today are almost never made
from rosewood?

What is the price of rosewood clarinets (compared to Grenadilla)?

What is the quality of rosewood (compared to Grenadilla) concerning
hardness, cracking, weight, etc.?

Thanks
Dirk
