We,the Blackwood Technology Co Ltd,have created processed wood from plantation grown softwoods that is indistinguishable from good heavy ebony, with strength, density, stability and tonal quality not only matching ebony, but adding new dimension to instrument making. In our view, it is an unprecedented technology that not only gives the player a choice of superior tones and sounds, but our last opportunity to save the little rain forests we have left. It will be an ideal material to replace the ebony and rosewood.
