Dear friends: Have any of you tried -or play- a clarinet made of mopane wood? The firm I loosely work for sometimes makes clarinets of mopane. The characteristics of this wood: 1. just about as solid and dense as African blackwood and isn't prone to warp. 2. a softer, smoother tone than rosewood or ebony 3. more volume than boxwood and a lot more stable. 4. a wood that has long fibers and thus resonates very evenly through the so-called register breaks.
What might be considered the down-side is the fact that mopane produces a brighter sound than African blackwood.
