I don't know the reason for this. Buffet says on its web-site that in Europe
the sound of the RC is preffered. I am not sure that this is the reason.
However, it seems that the sound of the E-13 is comparable to the R-13. I
highly prefer the RC (at leas the particular one that I know) above the
E-13.

I don't know if warranty against cracking is included. I only had a first
try of the instrument, and I should consider it more seriously.

However, it is not that simple. About one hour ago someone attended me to a
Yamaha CS + left Eb from 1998 which should cost $1300. I think I should look
at that instrument too.

Maybe it is the fact that I am not used to this system. I don't know if
mail-order shops ships abroad and how much registrations at the customs
costs.

Thanks,
