I got the greenline 8 years ago, thinking it would be a great instrument, especially as a backup if I ever I got another wood clarinet, and I wouldn't have to worry about it. 8 years long, and not a flaw on it, and I've treated it pretty harshly. Been on 8 different cruise ships, across the US, even to Europe. I haven't tried an all wood clarinet in a while, but the greenline has suited me quite well, especially in cold pits, so haven't needed to.

If I were performing in the NY Phil, I'd get a festival, all grenadilla, but since it sits on stands in our North East dry and cold climate while I play the overture to the music man for the 200th time, I'm happy to have the reliability.

PS - To all you Musical Theater snobs, while I have played the music man a bunch, I luckily have not played it 200 times, I do not remember what instrument I played when I did, and I am grateful for both of those facts. It's just an anecdote that should be taken with a light heart.
