I guess the advantage would be that it is less likely to cave under
string pressure and worse, aggressive string-seating. How does
ebony behave with humidity changes?<br><br>

Ebony, with a Janka rating of 3,692 is more than two times harder than
maple with a Janka rating of just 1,450. See

<dd>I've been looking at a high-end German piano, Sauter, an noticed that
<br>
<dd>on their 7' & 9' grands they cap the treble portions of the long
<br>
<dd>bridge in ebony. Is this wood harder than maple?<br><br>
