Re: Tosca Built for Greenline?

does anyone have any insight into how greenline clarinets are made differently than wood horns? are they run through the same machines? What qualities make it work better on the Tosca? Is it a different composite material than say greenline R13 or festivals?

Chris

Dear Chris,

The GreenLine are made the same way as we make the wood ones exept that we need to use different tools mainly made of Carbite because the material is a lot harder to cut and regular stainless steel tools will loose their cut after one or two passes in the instruments. The tuning, bore reaming, padding and final adjustment is done by the same workers who make the Tosca wood. The only big difference is when they ream the bore it really is hard on your arms and you have to be extra carefful with this process.

Hope this help,

Musically Yours,
