According to John Myatt's latest list, the Greenline R13 is made from blackwood
debris and (I think) polycarbonate, and is 20% (!) heavier than the
corresponding wooden instrument - the price is the same. Unfortunately,
therefore, it's not THAT green, as the material's manufacture depends on a
continuing use of blackwood elsewhere in the factory.
(I would have gone out to Hitchin to try one out this weekend - but I'm working
Saturday ...)
