Ebony Piece Shawm 400x60x60 mm

Overview Ebony Piece Shawm 400x60x60 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...).

Ebony is, together with blackwood, the most sought-after wood in the construction of woodwind instruments. Like the former, it has similar characteristics in terms of hardness, ease of turning and its timbral qualities, being somewhat 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.
