Ebonol (material)
Ebonol is a synthetic material whose name derives from its similarity in appearance, hardness, and stability to ebony wood. Ebonol is used as a substitute for ebony in the construction of stringed and woodwind instruments (specifically clarinets). The material is particularly well suited for the fingerboards of fretless bass.
