Tone hole placement is supposedly different on the Festival, and the register vent is 1 mm higher. Many claim the Festival has a more powerful and more flexible sound, while other say it's not as powerful as the R-13. Guess it depends on who you ask on what day.

Have you checked out websites which give specific technical information? This would help you out a lot.

A college professor I know thinks that the Festivals are really out of tune. Of course, everyones got an opinion (and they all contradict each other) so who knows?

Gee, that must be why lots of professional clarinetists use them!

I know! The college teacher I'm speaking of made made my friend (who studies with him) buy a new clarinet (she played a Festival) because of tuning issues that he claimed existed. Personally, I think it'd be easier to get a new teacher! ; )
