Norbert- I'm not sure if i have heard of an Ebony clarinet, but not all clarinets are made of grenadilla. Leblanc made a line of rosewood opus's once, and I have heard of other types of wood being used as well (though I cannot recall the types). I remember once hearing of ebony clarinets I think, but I cannot be sure if it was ebony that I heard or the plastic compound, ebonite. Either way, I would not be surprised if they had made a clarinet of ebony, as it is a fairly resonate wood, and I figure that's where they got the name ebonite from, although, again, I cannot be 100% sure.
