The Greenline should take it ... much less likely to crack than wood, if you don't stress the center joint.

I've heard that Robert Spring, because he travels extensively to and from variable climates, uses the Greenline instruments, due to experiencing a lot of cracking with wood clarinets.

However, I know of one lady that has had to abandon her Greenline Buffet due to a bizarre allergy to the material!
.
Until we can get Buffet to build R13s in special secret plastic or hard rubber, it's just a matter of compromises in durability for bad conditions.

As another possibility: Try a Ridenour Lyrique RCP-576BC. Hard rubber, better in tune than the Buffet, more uniform resistance and a warmer sound. Won't crack, more stable tuning and ideal for pit orchestra hazardous duty. And, inexpensive.
