FSC 100% Blackwood Shawm 400x65x65 mm

Overview FSC 100% Blackwood Shawm 400x65x65 mm:

In Maderas Barber we have 3 sizes available for the construction of shawms, depending on the tastes of the builder or if it will be based on one of the many regional models (Aragonese, Castilian, gralla...).

Blackwood is an extremely dense African wood, extremely dark in color with purplish-brown tones. With a fine, straight grain and often unnoticeable pores, it is very easy to obtain an extremely shiny piece without much effort. It has all the ideal mechanical qualities for wind instrument parts: hardness, resistance to humidity, ability to allow holes to be drilled to accommodate the keys, ease of turning... not to mention its spectacular and elegant appearance once it is finished. No wonder it is considered the queen of woods as far as instruments of the woodwind family are concerned.
