Re: Greenline question

Buffet originally said that ays they grind up the shavings from drilling out the bore of wood clarinets and bind them together for the Greenline material. Their advertising touted the number of mpingo trees saved as well as the supposed benefits of having grenadilla dust embonded in glue, which, somehow, gives the "grenadilla sound."

However, Buffet's history timeline http://www.buffet-crampon.com/en/saga/our-history says that the Greenline material consists of "reconstituted ebony from Mozambique that keep 100% of the acoustic properties and provide incontestable reliability and longevity for the instruments," so who knows.
