Grenadill, also known as African blackwood (Dalbergia melanoxylon) belongs to the rosewood family and comes mainly from Mozambique, East Africa. Its colour is dark, purplish brown with black streaks, producing an ebony appearance. It is a very dense, hard and heavy (ca. 1400 kg/m3) wood with fine texture, hardly requiring any finish. It is used mainly for woodwind instruments, primarily for clarinets. Perfect for musical instruments and furniture restorations.
