Hi Franklin,

This is what the seller has to say about it, I have dealt with him twice before and he carries a fine reputation and is very knowledgeable, I am not surprised you mention lamination as I am sure propellers would benefit from this but why make a laminated clarinet when you could probable buy a block of Cocobola?

An excellent condition Conn Pan -American Clarinet in Cocobolo wood which is having a full overhaul in Pisoni double bladder fishskin pads, and is sold with a year's warranty. This instrument was an ingenious solution by Conn to the scarcity of Grenadilla wood during the Second World War. The same wood was used in the manufacture of WWII Bomber Propellers', hence the nick name; "Propeller wood clarinet". This is a wide bore clarinet; primarily aimed at the Jazz market, it plays with a warm and flexible sound.
