Sure Dan. What I've experienced with the regular R-13s is that the sound is
a little on the "tinny" or "thin" side of what I look for in a clarinet's
sound(keep in mind that this is from my playing experience with my
mouthpiece, reed,ligature, etc combination and not all horns sound the same
for everyone). My particular prestige R13 plays with what I call a darker
sound, I'm not sure how to explain the sound to you since describing sound
is a bit abstract but I also hear it described as "thicker" or "fatter."
Does this help explain?
