 Re: Greenline tenon replacement

François Kloc has said that Buffet reformulated the Greenline material a few years after its introduction because the original formula was brittle, leading to breakage, particularly at the center tenon on clarinets and oboes.

Was your oboe relatively new, or was it one of the early Greenlines? That is, do Greenlines still have the problem?

Leaving instruments out during a break almost inevitably leads to disaster. I'm told that the principal clarinetist of the Cleveland Orchestra once left his instrument out, and a curved piece of glass in the skylight focused the sun on it, melting the hard rubber mouthpiece. This may be an urban legend, but sooner or later a chair will get kicked or a floor peg will get caught on someone's pants. The least you can expect is a splintered reed.
