Did you search the archives? Lots of information on the S1 model.

Here is one thread to start you off:

a Professional level clarinet similar in quality to the more well known R13. If my memory serves me correctly, the acoustic layout is that the bore is similar to R13, but the tone holes smaller (and higher?) giving the horns a slightly "sweeter" sound.... i had a pair of these- the A clarinet was really really nice, but the Bflat had some problems.
i believe Charles Neidich had S1 clarinets for a while, that might have been around the time he lost his clarinets by leaving them in a taxi......????

"The differences between the 'S1' and the R13 are;

The bore.

The S1 has a policylindrical 14.62mm bore.

The R13 has a policylindrical 14.64mm bore.

The position and diameter of the tone holes are different.

The barrel bore is different as well smaller on the 'S1'.

The length of the bodies is different too. The 'S1' has longer bodies. All of those differences make a BIG difference on the sound, response, and feeling of the instrument. Francois Kloc"
