The difference between the Buffet R-13 and the Prestige is a bit more than
just silver plating. The instrument comes with and adjustable thumb rest,
the wood selected is of better quality (?), and more time is spent on hand
work at the factory. Personally, I have played rotten Prestiges and
wonderful R-13 (and RCs!), and visa-versa.
My wife plays on a Leblanc Opus (and loves it), and I prefer my pair of
Yamaha YCL-72CSs over the R-13. You plays your money, you takes your choice!
