The E13 is not made in Germany (as someone suggested). It is the first in
the range that is made in France, and has proper pointscrews,
silver-plating and French keywork. It is pitched at A-442 rather than 440.
The R13 is made primarily for the US market and is at A-440.

I am afraid I don't believe the story about nickel-plate being banned in
Germany, at least not yet, and there are plenty of instruments coming from
there that are still nickel-plated. The R13 is not of course nickel-plated,
as was also incorrectly stated in another mailing.
