A typical use as a stick, it was said as the best fashionable luxury was a "snakewood of stick with hat" for the gentleman in the Taisho era. It is also known as the best material as a bow of the Baroque violin. It is a very stiff and heavy material, and can withstand bending processing. It holds the highest value of wood and is one of a very rare material. Often it is asked "What kind of sound?”, but it is difficult to answer for snakewood. It is a special instrument that can not be compared with ebony or metal tube.
