African Blackwood 4 piece Clarinet Set
Dalbergia melanoxylon
African Blackwood has long been a favorite for clarinets for several reasons, i.e. beauty, turnability, high degree of dimensional stability, and because of its oiliness it is little if at all effected by saliva. The sets we sell today were originally milled in Africa during the 2016/2017 season.
Due to CITES regulations, we can only ship this species to customers in the United States.
