Is black ebonite gone?

[TheAcadian]

I've noticed that all my usual suppliers are sold out of straight black ebonite. All I see are the swirls, which are nice, but not what I want for sections. Where is everyone getting black ebonite?

SEM (Germany) and Nikko (Japan) still make black ebonite and you can buy directly from them as well.

John - do you find a difference between the Japanese and German black ebonite?

 

[jalbert]

Never used German black, only Japanese black because it's cheap. To be honest, I don't even really like ebonite at all, but only keep some for orders.

I get mine from Ranga in India, he's got plenty of black, cheap too.
