 About material  :  African blackwood (Mpingo)

   1. Mpingo : Swahili name of African Blackwood (Swahili : East African local language)
                      Botanical name : Dalbergia melanoxylon, Density(air-dry) : 1.3 
       Mpingo is much different species from Ebony wood. 
       Ebony : Botanical name : Diospyros spp. (Ebenaseae), about 200 kinds of species, density(air-dry) : 0.9~1.0 .

   2. African blackwood listed by CITES as a protected wood since Jan. 2017.
        (CITES : Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora)
        But, all our raw materials of this wood species were imported in Korea legally from Tanzania on 2002~2004.
        Please refer above photo of official 'Pre-Convention Certificate' issued by Korea government CITES authorities.

   3.  Mpingo is renowned for its lots of defects like cracks, splits, knots, worm holes, etc. 
         in the log itself, and so result in very poor cutting yield ratio to certain size.

   4. Acoustic properties : 
          Its stability and lovely tonal qualities make it well-known as "The Tree of Music"
         and it has often used for woodwind musical instrument traditionally like clarinets, oboes, bagpipes.
         Also, Mpingo is recognized already as outstanding resonant accessories to high-end audiophiles worldwide.

 Buyer's review  : 

  1. "The sound change become wider depending on the cone size.
       Normally you can get the effect using three feet under equipment.
       The larger size comes the bass and high tone more naturally.
       I figured out sound balance with Mpingo cone, and then controled the background or details with Mpingo blocks.                
      The sound was hard to upset, but I could controlled by using Mpingo products. Very appreciated."

   2. " Better effect than the cable change of over USD4,000 amount. 
        The reverberation effect become higher when conical point upward, and 
         its sound become more hardened when conical point downward."

   3. (Below is very famous audiophile’s review listed on our homepage after using our Mpingo blocks.
       He is managing audio community site as a side work, and is supported by so many audiophile members
       in Korea. From his long experience, he developed many equipments and useful accessories.)

       “I became assured ‘My sound’ at least with over twenty years audiophile careers,
        and so I stopped to swap the equipments for a moment. But, I started newly just ‘accessory mischief’.
        I have experienced almost accessories selling in Korea.           
        Among them, I recommend to everybody below 3 items with assured higher effect.
          1) BDR Cone ,    2) Van audio AVR ,    3) CD Shaver
       Now I am seriously thinking about adding one more. It’s just ‘clubWOOD Mpingo items’.  
       When evaluate audio accessories, it is useless to express such as soundstage, transparency, 
       treble change etc.
       That’s why all accessories become different depending on the user's system.
       But for me, I have the only one unchangeable sound change point, It’s just ‘bass density’.
       If bass density become better, I believe that system should be upgrade one step without question.
       The remaining elements are naturally come with.

       Mpingo makes bass density upgrade one step definitely, and all while never to dry.
       This means Mpingo has strong advantage not to care about any equipments.
       This Mpingo is definitely superior than Ebony which was hot with joint production on many communities.
       Obviously, this is as equipment-change level or more than that.
       No, this is rather than a gain as there are no reason to fail when change equipment.
       I got very amusing toy after a long time. I will order more Mpingo items tomorrow and want to play with them."

   4. " ~ I then purchased MD-02 discs and MC-03 cones from Clubwood.com.
       I have had excellent results with their Mpingo wood products. 
       Inserting the MC-03 cones under the feet moved the sound very close to what I was searching for,
       putting the MD-02 discs under the cones made a little more improvement. 
       I have now glued the cones to the bottom of the feet and am working on my Garrard 301.
       In summary I have from bottom to top -- Stillpoints, 1.5" Boos cutting board, Clubwood MD-02 disc,
       Clubwood MC-03 cone, slate foot."
