Dee is absolutely right. In fact, on my Malerne bass clarinet, whose serial numbers match between top and bottom joints, the top joint is dark black and the bottom joint is lighter and much more reddish, with considerably more visible grain. It's rather obvious that the otherwise matching joints were made from different pieces of wood, as the top joint seems to have retained a lot more of the black stain than did the bottom joint.
