>From a prior message to Klarinet from Francois Kloc:

"Like Chuck said and it is the same designe as the R13 Polycilindrical
14.64mm bore with undercut tone holes. We use the Prestige wood on the
Festival which means is a denser wood than the R13 and the vibrations
happen little bit after. The Festival comes with Gore Tex pads,the tone
holes are mor conical and like chuck said the twelve register is 3 mm
higher wich change the volume inside and make the air travel diferently.
Professional play this instruments in the north America territory and it
is a popular instruments."
