Isn't Mpingo another name for grenadilla?

Amati use Mopani on some of their clarinets which looks like rosewood, and Tom Sparkes uses Australian Mulga wood as an option on his oboes.

I remember a customer wanting a set of oboes (oboe, d'amore and cor) all made from hornbeam which he sourced, but it wasn't dimentionally stable enough after turning - so he settled for cocobolo instruments instead.

Former oboe finisher
Howarth of London
1998 - 2010
The opinions I express are my own.
