Re: Buffet greenline r13 clarinet.

I'm also playing on an R13 greenline, going on the 4th season this spring. Originally bought used (2 yr old) for summer outdoor playing. After having it overhauled after the summer season (thanks Wes Rice) I found I couldn't tell the difference between the greenline and my late 60's vintage grenadilla R13, either in our band room or the concert theatre at my kids' school. Even in a blind test with two section mates in the back of the hall. I now play the greenline year round. Although as others have noted, the greenline is heavier, that's an excuse for a neckstrap. On the plus side, as the greenline is much newer, Buffet seem to have fixed some of the classic off pitch notes such as B and C above the staff.
