RE: Greenline Festival

WW&BW is trying to establish (has established) itself as THE place in NYC for new woodwind instruments. Buffet sends Francois Kloc around the country doing repairs, meeting teachers and pushing its instruments. It's likely that after his last visit about a year ago (where he had to set up in a hotel), WW&BW grabbed the chance to get him into their store. (This isn't anything I know for sure -- just a supposition.)

Mark says that the Festival is not sent to all stores, but only the largest dealers, which is why they're not available from all sources.

The 3 Festivals I played were all well in tune, but I can readily believe that some of them are out. As always, you have to play a bunch of them and pick the best. I would assume that the ones Francois had were specially selected. Certainly he made sure the pads were perfectly seated and the key heights were perfectly adjusted.

Best regards.
