  Wood & Care - Braun wooden flutes and piccolos.
The grenadilla tree is chiefly to be found in Central and Eastern Africa, especially in Tanzania and Mozambique.
Because of the region's long dry periods, which the grenadilla tree effortlessly survives, the areas of growth are sparsely populated, thus the local need for this natural wood is very restricted.
The trunk of the grenadilla tree is made up of the dead heartwood and the living sapwood, the colours of which are sharply differentiated.

 Literature
The botanical name itself tells much – Grenadilla, the wood from which your woodwind instrument is built, belongs to the Dalbergia family, together with other famous woods such as Palisander or Kingwood, and “Melanoxylon” simply indicates “flwood”.
Grenadilla is especially treasured for the making of woodwind instruments due to its hard, smooth surface, and its strong resistance to the absorption of moisture.
Grenadilla is not “fl as ebony”, as in the fairy-tale Snow-White.

Grenadilla became the wood of preference as the oboe became more and more complex.
For us at Marigaux, we always come back to grenadilla because it's the best sound, it's relatively safe from cracks; grenadilla is the wood for oboes right now, aside from composite materials.
