I'm just wondering: I understand that the Greenline material is supposed
to be much more uniform and stable than solid wood. If that's the case,
why is it still necessary to pick a clarinet from among a selection?
Why aren't the instruments nearly identical? Maybe the bodies are quite
consistent but the adjustment and regulation varies?
