Paul- if you have slippery hands, a Greenline Low C may not be the ideal choice for you.
My observation is that while the Greenline material may be dimensionally stable, the material is VERY brittle. Unfortunately, about halfway down the lower joint you have a large tone hole opposite a small tone hole and a small screw hole (securing a post ) all in a line- this is a very weak design which can't be avoided as the holes must be located where they are. Doesn't take much of a shock to cause a break exactly where one would predict it. In this case, the instrument apparently was mishandled somehow- the teen-ager who plays it won't fully confess what happened, so I can't say for sure. Personally, I would not choose to buy the Greenline over the conventional wood model, given my experience with this situation. ( FWIW, my own Bass Clarinet is a 50's era grenadilla Selmer; it has served me well.)
