Bell blanks - African Blackwood
African Blackwood clarinet bell blanks.

These Bell blanks were rejected by the musical instrument trade for having small defects.

They are still amazing for turning and other specialty items.

Height = 5", Base diameter = +- 3.25", Top diameter = +-1.5"

We have them in 2 shapes (shown in the photos)

Unless you call in to specify (or specify on the notes section of the order), you may receive either the square or the octagonal base versions (selected randomly).

Photo is representative of the stock you will receive.

Species: Blackwood – African
African Blackwood is native to the seasonally dry regions of Africa, from Senegal eastwards to Eritrea and southwards to the northern parts of South Africa. Without question, the densest and most un-rosewood-like of the Dalbergia's (for our money, at least!), African Blackwood is a consistent favorite with acoustic guitar luthiers, wood turners, carvers and fine furniture craftsmen, alike. It remains one of the world's most coveted musical woods. African Blackwood often appears almost completely black, with its grains hardly discernible. (... thus the name. After sanding, a deep, very dark chocolate color emerges.)Given its trees' very small profile and the fact that they also commonly grow somewhat twisted (rather than straight up), finding long, straight boards of African Blackwood is a daunting task. It is so dark and dense, it's almost inconceivable that it is a true Dalbergia-genus rosewood. Expect exceptional pieces to command a premium, as prices have increased, while supplies have drastically decreased over the last several years.
