If I wanted a black trumpet, to me, ABW is a much better choice. Plenty of other ebonies have made good trumpets.

I have a large blank of Malaysian Blackwood that I'd like to use. If I had to make a choice for an ebony trumpet it would be Macassar ebony with good figure. I agree with your statement about ABW.
