Our local music retailer had a GL Festival on display several weeks back,
which I had the chance to play. (You know me, GreenLine fan...) It's a
fine instrument, but I won't purchase one. While the tuning is a little
more accurate than my GL R13, I like the sound of my R13 better.

Yeah yeah, it's all objective.
(But it was pretty funny when I picked it up, and the salesman started the
sales schpeel. "That clarinet will not crack, you know be-," at which
point, I cut him off, and finished the speech spouting probably more
information on Greenline and the GL process than he even knew existed.)
