Subj: RE: [kl] R-13 vs E-11 Eb clarinet

Hi there!

I'm new to the list, and wouldn't you know - the first posting is something
I might be able to contribute to!

I play Eb quite often, and have been playing on the same R13 for the last 20
years. The clarinet is almost perfectly tuned, so I rarely have to adjust
the pitch using alternate fingerings.

I would highly recommend going for the R13! Though I haven't played on an
E11, I just suspect that the better the instrument, the better chance you
are going to have keeping the thing in tune with the piccolo player (and the
less chance the rest of the clarinet section will dislike you!).
