Secondtry,

It would be nice to think that Buffet is trying something new to satisfy a demand or create some stir, but I think they're flirting with mopane mainly because of the dwindling supply of blackwood and all the controls related to its export and import.

As Ruben writes, mopane is significantly less expensive than blackwood because of these things.

This is an opportunity to charge even higher prices for a clarinet that will cost less than the same blackwood model to produce. (My guess is that Buffet won't even have to change tooling because of the similarities between the two woods.)

I predict that Buffet will be mass producing one or two of their "standard" models in mopane soon, but that these will continue to be marketed as "special" instruments at much higher prices.
