Don't jump to the conclusion that the R-13 is the only clarinet in the
world! There are plenty of good horns made by Selmer, Yamaha, Leblanc,
etc. You sound like you've made up your mind without getting all the
facts. Unless a good used one falls into your lap (don't get me wrong;
it's a good ax!) take the time to shop around. You'll be glad you did,
even if you finally settle on the Buffet.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
