Note: Hardwood from the species Dalbergia elanoxylon, native to the dry savanna woodlands of Africa and western India. It is lustrous dark purple or plum-colored, dense, hard, even-grained with a fine texture, and possessing good carving properties.

It is currently used for clarinets and other woodwind instruments because due to its good resonance qualities. Not a true ebony. |
