 R13 Greenline green trademark
Author: clarimad

Has anyone a solution for the trademark wearing off? For clarinets with the usual gold trademarks fading I use a Ferrees trademark crayon but am interested to learn what others use for Greenlines.

I've just used acrylic paint with good success. I use a small needle to brush the paint into the logo, although it takes a very steady hand and a lot of patience. I believe I had to mix green and white paints to get the color right.

This is one I did recently. All of the logos including the Greenline logo were gone on this instrument. Unfortunately the Buffet logos were so worn that hey didn't come out as well as I would have hoped.

Buffet logos aren't stamped on well to begin with and are often very light in the centre compared to either side making them wear out easily and unevenly. If they were engraved or lasered on, then they'd be easier to redo.

CSGs have really nice laser engraving but it’s not filled with any gold coloured material. I think the higher spec horns have the gold. Is it worth doing it to a CSG or might it reduce their value?

They didn't fill in the CSG logos as they're going for a German look on them and German clarinets don't usually have their logos filled in.

And following on from that, the other high end Custom models since the CSG also don't have their logos filled in, whereas the regular Custom models under the CSG do (and the models below the Customs have them foil stamped).

It won't affect the value if you do choose to fill the logos in as it's purely cosmetic and can always be removed.

Older Custom (80 series) and pro level (60 series) Yamahas had them engraved and filled in with gold paste. Same with their oboes and piccolos.
