Sugal 1801 Grenadilla Wood CNC Machined Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece 8

Fine quality Grenadilla wood otherwise known as Mpingo black wood is extremely rare and sought after by some of the top recording artists around the world for its outstanding tonal qualities.

The fact remains that there are are no other exotic woods that have superior dynamic musical qualities than Grenadilla wood.

Cocobolo Rosewood and other types of “exotic” wood seem to crack more frequently than Grenadilla wood. They are porous, and absorb great amounts of moisture, causing critical table measurements to become unstable. Instability causes intonation and tuning problems. These problems for beginners, intermediate and advanced players instantly become problematic.
