The far more interesting question concerning Ebonite for me is what's its origin. The rubber tree or is it mostly nowadays from a petroleum product.
I'm inclined to think that most rubber , for example , for motor vehicle tyres is a petroleum product. There just wouldn't be enough rubber trees to supply the demand.
Is this also the case with the Ebonite of Clarinets , or is this from the rubber tree in South East Asia as Tom Ridenour suggests.*
