Ebony is, together with blackwood, the most sought-after wood in the construction of woodwind instruments. Like the former, it has similar properties in terms of hardness, ease of turning and sound qualities, being slightly less dense -and therefore lighter- and not as lustrous as blackwood. In any case, it is one of the favorite woods of woodwind instrument makers.
