Re: Choice between between Festival, R13 Prestige and RC Prestige

I used to play on Festivals and found them to be extremely free blowing and bright, but perhaps that was just my pair. It got to the point where I didn't feel I could develop my tone much further because I couldn't handle the piercing edge and the unevenness in resistance, which I didn't get when playing collegues instruments (mainly R13-s and RC Prestiges). Like I said though, it is possible that my pair were particularly bad in these areas.

I recently chose RC Prestiges from the Buffet Factory in France, mainly for their tonal evenness (resistance etc) and the added ease of making a covered yet focussed sound. There are probably Festivals that play with the same characteristics I like about my RC Prestiges - I just didn't bother to even try them as I didn't want to go back to Fesitval after the last ones. Hope this is of some help
