I would greatly prefer to get an E-11 rather than a Yamaha because The E-11
has almost the same feel as the R-13, or at least the one I tried did. I have
played on many types of clarinets like yamaha, leblanc, patricola, etc, and I
have found that the clarinets the produced my desired tone adn had a specific
feel were all buffets. The yamahas ARE very similar to the Buffet, but I stll
would like to get a buffet.
Also, I noticed in The Woodwind catalogue that the E-11 is only offered with
silver plating. Although I definatly wouldn't mind a silver plated instrument,
I think it would be dumb for the way I'd be using my clarinet. Is the E-11
offered with nickle keys and just not shown in the catalogue or is it oly sold
with silver keys?
