Woodwind instruments are made from Mpingo Wood, also known as African Blackwood and grenadilla. Oboes, clarinets, bagpipes, flutes, piccolos, and fingerboards for stringed instruments including guitars, are made of Mpingo. So are the highly prized sculptures made by the Makonde people. Mpingo grows in Tanzania and Mozambique, and worldwide, individuals and organizations work to conserve and preserve it. Over the past several years, Brenda Schuman-Post has taken on the task of bringing awareness to those involved in Western Classical Music of the impact that their culture is having on other peoples. As an oboist, she herself depends on the availability of Mpingo. | ||
