The Greenie IS an R13. Check out the catalogues and offical Buffet
listings: the Greenline is a professional level instrument. I have
compared clarinets with my roommate and professor, both of whom play
traditional R13s, and there is no difference in sound (except between the
Greenin and my roommate's stick; we both agree that my Greenie is a little
darker and has better projection).
