African Blackwood Baritone
“African Blackwood … Strikingly different from other rosewoods in that it is flat black in color, and among the densest woods found on the planet, it is also one of the most expensive. The trees grow in isolated areas of the West African deserts and the trunks of these trees are twisted and small, yielding little Instrument-sized wood. African Blackwood can contribute to a rare and valuable Instrument with outstanding volume and power"
