It would be good if someone could genetically modify or splice the DNA of both bamboo and grenadilla to grow natural tube high tensile strength and high density grenadilla with a perfectly straight grain and the bore undersized so all that needs doing is removing the nodes, then turning the outside and reaming the bore of each straight section to get joints and barrels from. The root end if it's wide enough could also be turned into bells. Extra length and wide diameter sections can become alto, basset horn, bass and contra (EEb and BBb) clarinet joints.

I wonder if anyone has experimented using bamboo to make bassoon long joints? There is bamboo that grows to a fairly wide diameter and the tenons may be stronger than maple.
