Were these ever made in ebonite? Mine appears to be ebonised. I look forward to your comments.

I have seen an ebonite 926, so yes.

They were made in ebonite with either silver or nickel plated keys.

No. Mainly wood

The ebonite ones were mainly built for parade use and tropical climates, though most of them are wooden.

B&H also made ebonite-bodied Imperial flutes, oboes and bassoons alongside wooden-bodied ones for the same reason as they were the main supplier of band instruments to the UK military bands - from piccolos to BBb basses.

I had an ebonite (hard rubber) 926 once. A bit olive-greenish it was, but played very nicely.
