However, none of my experiences were first hand, so take them with a grain of salt.Ī friend of mine (professional clarinetist) went to the Buffet factory to choose new Bb and A clarinets. As for the sound, an old professor of mine had the oppurtunity to play-test many clarinets and wrote me saying that the wooden clarinets were, in her opinion, far superior to the Greenlines. It was in a thread posted a LONG TIME AGO (whats that about the mind is always the first to go!!!! by Clay entitled "Buffet R-13 Green Line?" in which a reply by LeWhite was posted which said an OBOE-player's Greenline oboe fell from his/her chair and "split in two".
We have had to replace several clarinet upper joints this year due to bad cracks. I loved the sound.Īs far as breakage goes - at the store we've never had a Greenline clarinet or oboe with a broken joint. I was floored by how well it responded, and it wasn't until after I put it back in the case that I noticed the Greenline label. A customer brought her clarinet in for adjustment, and I was asked to play test it before she picked it up. I first tried one a couple of months ago. I suggest you actually pick one up and play it. You also say you "read that" their sound pales in comparison to traditional wood clarinets. If your heart is set on one, you can read the many reviews on this BBoard or visit music123 and read what some of the people who own one have to say about it and base your decision off of those.Ĭlaribone - you say you "read somewhere" about the breaking joint. My opinion would be to buy a REAL wood clarinet and take care of the wood (research on the BBoard to find out what processes to use and precautions to take). and the upper joint completely broke in half!!! I have also read that their overall sound pales in comparison to a REAL wood clarinet. I read somewhere that someones Greenline R-13 was dropped from a height of 3 ft. I think that is true to a limited degree, but easily remedied by putting a wood barrel and bell on the horn. The chief criticism I have heard from others whom I respect is that they don't have quite the ring of a great wood horn. I'm very satisfied with a Greenline I bought, and David Hattner has nothing but nice things to say about one he just acquired. Using the search feature on this BB will turn up plenty of information on Greenline.

And he also says that the greenline is not real wood and that's why they will not crack and I wanted to ask does anybody have anything negative or positive to say about the greenline clarinet thanks so much. The greenline has a kind of a bright tone wich is ok for some uses. He says that the greenline clarinet is a compatced wood wich makes not crack and the orginal R-13 has a much darker sound. Now my teacher told me that he has tried a couple of the greenline clarinets and don't have a thing for them and he backs his reasons up with this. I have a new question, does anybody have anything negative about the greenline R-13 buffet clarinets. Well I just rcentley just posted a message about mouthpiece set up. Unfortunately you have the same problem as the greenlines as well you sacrifice having that real ringing tone and the ability to project through a 90 piece orchestra very well, but for $800-$2000 you will not find any better.New Topic | Go to Top | Go to Topic | Search | Help/ Rules | Smileys/Notes | Log In They play basically identically to the greenlines. I trialed their A and basset clarinet and the quality is amazing for the price. I would recommend something like the B45 or M13 (I play on an M13 lyre).ĮDIT: If you aren't that concerned about the projecting problem I highly recommend the Ridenour line. Semi-related, if you haven't already upgraded your mountpiece doing that makes a MASSIVE difference in your sound even on a crap horn. I did that twice for my R13 Bb and A clarinets, after playing on my middle school plastic selmer for 9 years. If you are a music student in college you can have all or part of the cost claimed as part of your tuition and get a loan for it. I would personally recommend waiting until you have the money for a regular R13.

The sound is a little duller (warmer) and less resonant than the full wooden R13s. For someone who doesn't plan on playing seriously beyond college it's probably fine, but the horns have a real problem projecting. I had a friend who played on a greenline R13 for her first few years of undergrad.
