honestly, if intonation and tuning mean enough to you to find a new clarinet (as you are doing now), then you'll be looking for a new clarinet after you play an R-13 for a while and realize its horrible tuning and intonation problems. Sure it's built well, looks nice, and you can join the R13 mafia, but you will struggle to have good tuning and intonation. Personally, I recommend the LeBlanc line and for those on a budget, the Lyrique by Tom Ridenour. Give Tom a call. He's very friendly and will give you some good advice on choosing a good clarinet or tell you more about his almost perfectly in tune, easy to play across all registers clarinet (that is under $1000).
