It is rather soft, indeed. It behaves 98% as real ivory. So it is also very very tough…
Sometimes, rarely, with certain kinds of alloy, it tends to make some weird scratching noise in the string. But one drop of a carbon pencil counters this immediately.

I’ve searched high & wide and gone through at least a dozen different materials…this looks like it, finally! You don’t find it too ‘soft’ for jawari?
