I agree with what both Omar and Chris have said, "Our African Blackwoods" have a number of names/varieties, its "best for ww's" characteristics are its density, machinability, stability and minimum "water-swelling" as far as I know. Rendall in his book The Clarinet, discusses the features needed for wood inst mfgr. I believe Brymer and others of our "good books" do also. We have discussed this "choice" issue several times before, so Search our archives for those threads. I believe the best bassoons are made of maple, is that rite, folks ? Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
