Even if I were to concede that there IS a difference, is it a good
difference or a bad difference? And who is the judge? Is there any more
difference between a Greenline and a grenadilla R-13 than there is between
any random two grenadilla ones? I have not performed such a test, but I'll
bet in a properly constructed blind test it would be awfully hard to pick
which is which, or which one is preferable. Anybody with more experience
with these instruments care to weigh in?

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!
