i'm thinking of getting another A clarinet.
Have any of you tried teh Yamaha SEV? What do you think? How does it compare to an R13?
I found a place in NY that's selling it for about $2000.

My instructor said he almost bought a yamaha A clarinet (coming from a buffet man). Said it was one of the most beautiful sounding instruments he ever played.
Go try it. If you like it, buy it.

I found the sound to be a bit broader especially in the upper clarion for the several SEVs I tried compared to R13 which is probably more focused. Not sure if its a general trend across all SEVs or only in those I tried. Happy instrument shopping..

I've got a really nice Yamaha "A" SE. It plays with a very even scale. I would not discount trying the Yamaha.

do you think they ALL have higher quality wood than Buffets? I would love a buffet, but are there any new R13s that aren't made with scrapwood?

Excuse me? I've seen new Buffets, and don't quite know what to make of such a disparaging statement ...

I agree with Mark. I was going to respond to your post and tell you buy what feels, sounds best to you. I'm not a member of the so called Buffet mafia because I have a Leblanc LL, and double walled SILVER KING as well as a B & H 2-20, that are all excellent players.....I was very selective in what I bought.....that's the bottom line......Go test them....then decide....and if you want to slam clarinet manufacturers, do so to the ones that really deserve it. Buffet makes a great product. And if you would, explain "scrapwood"... Thanks
