a brand new Buffet R-13 for $1700 at a store called Woodwind Enterprises in
Garden City, Michigan. The owner said that I could try out as many of the
new R-13's he had before I decide to purchace one. Is that a good deal, or
is there something I should be warned about? >>

This seems on par with the prices the Woodwind and Brasswind were quoting
me a couple of months ago. I think list is somewhere around 2700?
You might want to verify the key finish, though. Standard R13s come in
both nickle plate and silver plate and the silver is generally $100 or
so more.
