What is the concensus on the GreenLine clarinets by Buffet? Certainly,
most players would agree that wooden clarinets sound better than their
plastic counterparts, but where do these grenadilla "alloys" fit in?

I play a GreenLine, and love it, however it would be interesting to hear
other, more experienced views. I find, that my instrument adapts very
well to changes in altitude, climate and humidity, and the fact that it is
"guaranteed" not to crack or shrink is also reasuring.

Hearing the "pro" view of GreenLines would be helpfull, especially since I
am looking to buy a new 'A' clarinet. Thanks everyone!
