Courtney,
My advice would be to sell it yourself. By way of an example, I
reciently paid $630.00 for my E-11 and was informed by my instructor
that it was a pretty good deal here in Tucson. Then I had pads replaced
and the thumb rest moved. I've been playing for about 9 months, so
pardon the question, but what is the difference between the E-11 and the
R-13. I noticed a playing ease and tone improvement when I got my E-11
over the 1940's Peddler that I was renting. Is it the same sort of
improvements? Just curious, starting at the ripe old age of 40, I
don'tsee myself at Madison Square Gardens ( maybe my kids though) :)
