Brazilian ebony
OM-style grand concert
Stark-looking, uniform, magnificently hard, black-brown Brazilian ebony (Swartzia tomentosa) lends a glassy clarity to a familiar guitar configuration; wider spacing at bridge is ideal for larger hands. Brazilian Ebony is just as dense as African Ebony and has similar working properties with less of a tendency to split. Although not a true Ebony, it shares many of the same desirable attributes.
