 Re: repair broken greenline clarinet

Long rods don't tend to bind up on wooden instruments - it's the short rods running across the joints that usually bind up as wood shrinks/expands widthways far more than it does lengthways.

Plastic and composites tend to shrink/expand in both directions and long key rods are the ones that suffer most on them, so they need to have a certain amount of end play between the pillars relative to their length.

Personally I'd avoid Greenline instruments like the plague as I've seen too many broken ones. Natural grenadilla has natural tensile strength that Greenline and other plastics and composites lack.
