Re: Buffet R13 Greenline or Wood

I would agree that under any "normal" use, the Greenline has more advantages than wood in that firstly you actually get an in tune horn rather than one of wood that "settles" after manufacture. Then there are the obvious advantages to being impervious to humidity AND extremes in temperature. I had made a rash decision to sell a recently purchased (and customized) Greenline only to be in a position just a year later where I had to make my own weather call on playing or not for a gig that was outside hovering around 59 degrees Fahrenheit.

Personally I'd go with silver keys for a bit more durability unless your daughter has a lot of acidity in her sweat. Even then though, wiping the keys off after playing with a cotton cloth will keep those issues down.

Greenline is though a hard.......and somewhat brittle material. I made some sort of lazy move and dropped my horn off my thumb (playing posture) onto a tile floor and the bell snapped off at the tenon (that wouldn't happen with wood, but you may still crack a wooden bell doing the same maneuver).
