Jason:
Which gets me wondering... does Boosey/Buffet ever use +ACI-bad+ACI- newly
made clarinets/oboes and recycle them into Greenlines, or are Greenlines
strictly with older, unusable clarinets? and does anyone know whether the
other Clarinet manufacturers sell their Grenadilla scrap to Buffet to make
greenlines?

Actually, I don't think that they use scrapped sticks for the Greenies -
if they do, they percentage is most likely notably lower than the amount
of fresh wood. I think they mostly use the left over wood from trees that
they've taken the continuous wood clarinets from.

Like I said, I think....Mr. Kloc can probably answer this...
