'''''Grenadilla''''' (or other, similar spellings) is a name given to a number of different [[wood]]s, all of them strong and dense. A famous wood so named is that of ''Dalbergia melanoxylon'', in English '''[[African Blackwood|African blackwood]]''' and in East Africa known as '''mpingo'''). It is used for making [[musical instrument]]s, mainly the [[oboe]], the [[flute]], the [[piccolo]], the [[clarinet]], the [[recorder]], and the [[Great Highland Bagpipe]].
Grenadilla is also used as an alternative name for the [[Passion fruit]].
