Intermediate instruments are not a good value unless you can get them at a
rock bottom price. However, if you can find a used R-13 in good condition
at a decent price it may be worth as much as you paid for it in 5-10
years.
I was able to buy a used R-13 for my son in 1996 for $800 (the entire
negotiation being conducted by email). We have already received our
money's worth.

This brings up another question. Right now he is playing
on an old Artley plastic clarinet (which will be perfect for
marching band). Is it necessary to go straight to a pro model
or would an intermediate get him through High School?
He is quite talented, and even sounds great on his Artley.
Thanks again,
Mary Kay
