Hi Julian,
Thanks, yes I see what you mean. In the place where I grew up we were by an estuary and there were fences in the water so that wood could be floated there in the brackish water to season. That made it into very good wood.
Now the local area is all planted with close grown conifers that grow like telegraph poles very quickly and are used as pressure treated timber. It is not as good wood.
When we refitted the wooden planks on an old garden bench the new wood did not last nearly as long as the old seasoned wood.
I don't know how long a blackwood tree takes to grow to the point where it can be useful as a clarinet. I will try to find out.
It sounds as though Yamaha are thinking very hard about alternative materials, but more like different woods, rather than plastic or metal.
