 Re: Cocus wood

Cocus was used in the 19th and early 20th Centuries along with boxwood, rosewood and grenadilla for orchestral woodwinds. Hardly ever used nowadays as grenadilla is the main timber for orchestral woodwind bodies, along with kingwood and cocobolo.

I read that cocus flute headjoints caused allergic reactions with some people - probably in a similar way cocobolo can cause an allergic reaction.
