Re: Buffet R13 Greenline or Wood

I can't understand why more clarinet makers besides Yamaha (Duet+) don't offer fully or better still, partially lined top joints on their wooden clarinets as some oboe makers do which protects the most vulnerable part of the top joint and still ensures the middle tenon is strong as any normal wooden clarinet.

As Buffet already offer Greenline bushed toneholes on some of their clarinets, then why can't they also offer a partial Greenline sleeve in the top joint bore to extend to just below the LH1 tonehole as that will be the best of both worlds - it'll have the resistance to cracking that wooden clarinets don't have and the strong middle tenon that Greenlines don't have.

The tonehole bushings on the trill and side F# keys, throat A, G# and the open G vent will be cut deep enough into the joint to meet the lining, so there's no risk of moisture getting in between the wood and the bore liner if there are any voids. Any waste material from the overbroaching of the top joints to accommodate the Greenline sleeve can always be turned into Greenline composite.
