Appears to be made from the Bakelite-like (perhaps it is actually Bakelite) material of which some very old clarinets and mouthpieces were made. I have a few of these, it's actually quite a nice material and looks and feels so much like densely-grained grenadilla that it's hard to tell the difference without looking real closely. The downfall of this material may be dimensional stability over time or with exposure to heat --- I've seen a couple of mouthpieces made of this material that had deformed, they looked 'melted'. Needless to say this is an undesirable quality.
