Then why manzanita, particularly? There are endless sources of woods resembling it, costing reasonably little, with no inclination to check, and with good musical reputations.I never see manzanita for sale, and I buy exotic woods all the time.

Somewhat off topic, but does anyone on the list know of a supply for manzanita wood that might be suitable for use in wind instrument making? I'm trying to find some pieces and the only sources I find are selling it as bird perches (which would be thoroughly cracked since manzanita has a tendency to check badly). I'm trying to find some pieces that have been properly split and waxed to prevent checking and that are at least one foot long and 2 inches across and thick. (Those sizes are possible to find as I do have a few pieces like that.) If anyone on the list either has some manzanita or knows where to get pieces like what I describe, please let me know off list.
