We offer our buttons with 3 different insert versions to provide a custom-fit attachment for many different mechanics from other manufacturers. You can find the exact dimensions in our technical drawing and the selection of the right insert version for the different manufacturers can be found in the top drop-down menu.

Basically, all of our wood comes from India and without exception from certified cultivation. The timber is grown in plantations and monitored and approved by the Indian State Forest Service.

What many people don't know is that there are several hundred types of ebony and rosewood all over the world. Unfortunately, many of the world's ebony and rosewood species, especially African ones, have been considered endangered for many years.

Therefore, instead of using the endangered Indian rosewood (Dalbergia Latifolia), we use tamarind wood (Tamarindus indica), also known as Indian dates. The second type of wood that we use is East Indian ebony (Diospyros melanoxylon), which is also not considered endangered.
