ALL SOLD PENDING PAYMENT
4 rare pieces of Pernambuco (caesaipinia enchinata) 1 1/2 " square
aged and seasoned for over 50 years. Pernambuco, known as the "music wood"
is known for its resonance and sustain which has made it famous for violin and viola bows. It is fairly heavy and very fine grained and sings when you tap it.
Pernambuco is a SITES protected wood and only old pieces, in small quantities,
are allowed to be shipped out of Brazil. I have seen 300 year old Pernambuco violin bows sell for more than $10,000 dollars. The Pernanbuco forests were not depleted for violin bows but for the red stain it produces. Prior to analine dyes Pernambuco stain was the predominate source of red dye. At $60 this is a steal as "music grade" wood sells for $200 to 300 dollars a kilo. If you have never tried Pernambuco in a cue you are missing out on one of the finest cue woods available. No coring needed as this Noble wood cannot be improved on.
30-day money back guarantee on uncut wood LESS shipping.
