Subj: Greenlines cracking
Date: Tue, 12 Aug 1997 01:32:37 -0400

Jeroen (I think) just said that Buffet Greenline clarinets (made out of
glued-together wood particles, vs.an intact section of Grenadilla) DO
crack, just less than others. I find this interesting; I thought the
whole point of wood that doesn't have grain is that cracking should be
much less likely to happen, or basically not happen.

Any thoughts?
