⚙️ Excellent torsional resistance, dimensional stability and adhesion
🪵 Easy to shape
🌿 Sustainably produced from local woods
✨ Elegant natural finish
Discover the modern alternative to traditional ebony pegs and bring together sound, sustainability, and style.
Sonowood is a natural wood product that compresses common, sustainably harvested, species into beautiful wood that has the strength and tonal response of traditional ebony. Ebony woods are, threatened or endangered and Vermont Violins is proud to offer this beautiful and effective alternative to violin makers throughout the USA. We use Sonowood on our own V. Richelieu instruments with great effect.
