Hi everyone,

The R13 I tried was just a regular R13, not a Prestige or Vintage
etc. I've found a really good one, but it is nickel plated. I've played on
my friend's silver plated clarinet and I like the touch. Also, my past
previous experience with my E11 which was nickel plated revealed that the
platings corrode too easily with my sweaty fingers. I found the nickel
plated keys to be a bit smooth and slippery. I might consider getting a
couple silver plated ones to try though.

Soo
