 RE: hard rubber ("ebonite")

Jean, I went back and did some rereading of these "lively WORMS", really valuable info-exchange PMHO, as Bob says, "puzzle parts". Out of an abundance of curiousity, try the subject cl with a reasonably-sized barrel [66mm for Bb?] as to pitch, when you can. Our library has a new [VG] ref. book, "World of Chemistry" which gave biographies [confirmed Mark C's info re: Baekeland] and discussed hard rubber=vulcanite=ebonite=resonite materials and processes. Another major use use of bakelite [beyond electrical] was in "costume" jewelry etc !! , BUT again, no mention of musical insts., a large market? A thot re: "modern" hard rubbers, following the WWII development of syn. rub. {I worked in it}, it seems to me that with the newer rubs. and vulcanizing processes, the tell-tale brown-green coloration has disappeared, retaining the shiny-black appearance we all Know and Love, ?thots? , Dave?, Don
