Christy,

I've been playing on Greenline R13's for the past year in the Dallas Opera.
The pair that I'm currently using are the best clarinets I own. This without
a doubt. (and I own a lot of very good clarinets)

Selecting a clarinet is a process. As I played clarinets......I found just
as many quality Greenline instruments as I did standard R13's. Take your
time and play as many instruments as it takes to find "that special
clarinet".
