Francois,

Thanks for the clarification on this topic. As one whose profession is
selling software to manufacturing companies, I understand clearly the
enormous cost of developing a new product.

As a side thought, it seems to me that if one expects the Greenline clarinet
to be cheaper in price, one is perpetuating the stereotype that plastic
instruments MUST be inferior in quality. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Francois, it's good to see you posting to the list again. I appreciate the
knowledge and wisdom that you share.

Walter Grabner,
who made it alive through his first conducting experience in 20 years!
