Congratulations.
Why did you pick the vintage R13. I'm going to wwandbw in NY tomorrow, shopping for an R13 or ??, so I'm curious.

There were different reasons, I prefered the sound (its different by a little bit), and its a little bit longer. I also liked it because it had two barells, in fact I like the second better than the original. Also I found that its intonation is better... but I guess its different depending on the Insturment itself. I also like the unstained wood, and the nice lovely double case they give you.

I'm curious: What years of R13 does the vintage emulate? My horn is a 1970 R13. Is that like the vintage, or is it more the the current R13, or is it altogether different from either?

Could be wrong, but I seem to recall that the vintage emulates instruments from the mid to late fifties.

The Vintage is "supposed" to emulate the ones made in the 1950's. I doubt howerver that it does this exactly, but it is made very well.

The Vintage was re-designed from the R-13 in 1996 by Rene Lesieux. It was designed by the requests of players that wanted a clarinet with the same feeling that they had in the old R-13s of the 1950's.
