Exotic Ebony Soprano Backs

• Dimensions: (255x90x4 mm)x2 
• Botanical Name: Diospyros crassiflora Hiern.
• Common Name: Royal Ebony
• Origin: Central and Western Africa.
• Density: 1030-1050 kg/m³
• Quality: These pieces are not classified by qualities and are included within a medium standard of quality, in other words, when we select them we reject the cracked pieces, with serious defects, or broken or useless ones. Therefore, we will always find good pieces that can have some slight defect, nice pieces, or pieces less attractive, always taking in account variations in colour or growth rings that each wood specie may have.

   

  In the case of Backs, even though most of the times we will find cut pieces with straight grain or quarter cut there will be also sometimes specially on the exotic woods like Cocobolo, Ziricote, Exotic Ebony and others, where we can find pieces partly flat cut due to the size of the trees. The cutting of these woods give the instrument an incredible beauty even though we know it is ideal for the sound and the instrument stability.
