For all of you R13 lovers out there, if you are looking for a horn, look at this as a possible option. After the big debate about which Buffet matched which Leblanc horn, I found this page on the ww and bw page. This has the closeout prices for the Infinite clarinet on it. I thought for all of you looking for a horn, it would be worth a look. My favorite horns are still Buffet, but if you are looking for a horn comparable to the R13 RIGHT THIS MINUTE this would be a very cost effective choice, i.e. $1299 - 1499 depending on the options. *file attached or located at: http://www.wwandbw.com/pdf/w498_27.pdf
This clarinet is a great clarinet with a polycylindrical bore (like the Buffets) but is CLOSEOUT for people who are wondering about getting an intermediate horn instead because of the price. This horn is priced like an intermediate horn because it is being discontinued.
Try it...you'll save $ if you like it.

P.S. To F. Kloc. I'm not trying to tell people not to buy Buffets, just offering an option for those who would not be able to afford an R13 now anyway. I'm scheduled to try a Prestige RC Greenline next week, if Fred Weiner has one in stock when I go there on the weekend. <grin>. I'll keep the list posted on the results of CLARTEST 98.
