Surely it's more likely that this inst. is made of hard rubber (ebonite) This was very commonly used before the introduction of more modern plastics (resonite) and with good results. I myself played on a B&H E flat made in ebonite for the first 15 years of my professional life and didn't think there was any difference in quality due to the material if the instrument was made as carefully as a wooden equivalent. Boosey & Hawkes used to offer their top models in a variety of materials. Thee 1010 was wood, the 1011 the same instrument in ebonite and, I believe, the 1012 in metal (though I've never seen one)
With the advent of "Greenline" it's interesting to think about the effect of the material of a woodwind instrument compared to the effect of its quality of manufacture. Look at the variety of flutes in use.
