 Thanks for the insights... 
 
I really should have said "plastic" instead of "composite", which includes plastics, Buffet's Greenline, and the bakelite used by the Noblet works in the 1950s. 
 
I did run into a local oboist today and she echoed the guidance above:  get a plastic Signet off of eBay.  I think I will!
