Subj: [kl] Eb E11 vs Professional model
Date: Tue, 7 Jan 2003 03:28:44 -0500

Does anyone know what the quality of the Buffet E11 Eb clarinet is like
compared to the R13 Eb clarinet? I have heard that this student model is
close to the professional model. Other than the wood, silver plating, and
undercut tone holes are there any differences in the E11 Eb and the R13 Eb?
I assume bore size may be different. If anyone has any playing time on both
could you please tell me your opinions? I would like to know what good Eb
clarinet mouthpieces are out there including barrels.

Thanks
