It's been a long time since you posted your message but here goes.
How about a brand new clarinet that's made out of Grenadilla wood (although it's listed as "ebony" online) and not terribly expensive? From China Music Instruments:
Professional model, brown ebony body, italy pads, usd265.20
www.xuqiumusic.com
with shipping to New York and the Western Union fee I paid USD343.40
It comes with a hard case and mouthpiece. I'll probably buy an Eddie Daniels ligature later. I mean, with the price on the instrument ...
I'm not an expert at the G clarinet! I play b-flat clarinet and alto sax. I recently got into Persian music and by extension Turkish etc. I think my Turkish G clarinet blows fine. The wood is dark brown in color. Beautiful, really.
I have a French Martinaux B--flat clarinet made out of Dalbergia Melanoxylon, African blackwood, a type of grenadilla . I bought that used for $500.00 here in New York City. I also prefer the natural sound and feeling of wood. The Chinese instrument sounds basically the same to me. The reed I'm using on the G-clarinet is a Rico Royal 1, French file cut. I buy them online.
