The section of the tree influences the density of each billet.

How quickly (or slowly) the same tree grows will also have effects on density.

This has great bearing on the choice of lumber for chemical treatments, such as "pressure treated" woods that use Copper Sulfate as a preservative.

I still think that hard rubber is a great choice for making woodwinds - it polishes beautifully and is very stable.

I wonder if there will come a time when lesser quality wooden clarinets will be ground up to make composite blanks for new instruments?
