Hear Hear!

I second your comment Forest.

I have been playing on a Bb Festival Greenline for about a year and simply
love it.

Like Forest, I picked from a selection and bought the best one I tried out.
So this would be no different if you were going to purchase a regular wood
clarinet.

The comments about my tone lead me to believe that the listener can not tell
the difference between an regular wooden clarinet and the Greenline at all.

Plus, you don't have to worry about it cracking as an added bonus.

One thing to keep in mind is to ask your local repair tech if they have
worked on any Greenline's before and if they feel there is any difference
for them in repairing it.

There will be no difference in doing most things, but if they ever need to
work on the "wood" they might require different tools.

I understand that Buffet has to use special tools when working the
Greenlines because the "wood" material is harder than regular wood.

I would not hesitate to recommend a Greenline at all.

I just don't understand why more people don't buy them, especially those
that play outdoors occasionally.

<< 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".
