Bubinga, an African wood sometimes called African Rosewood for having a certain resemblance to some Dalbergias, is a very hard wood, of reddish-pinkish tones, with very characteristic deep red streaks. Its mechanical qualities make it an ideal wood, along with the rest of the other woods we have selected for the same function, for its use as raw material in the construction of wind instruments such as bagpipes and shawms.
