We purchased a C-12 about a year ago, and had it repadded and reworked. It has excellent sound! Emily's teacher plays an R-13, and the intonation is VERY similar when they are playing together. The difference in the key height from the R-13 having the pinky key cutout and the C-12 not having is is very slight. Emily is 12, so here hands are quite small. The "conservatoire" model is only available in Europe, and is not quite the same as the older C-12's. The C-12, as was already noted, is listed on the Buffet serial number search site where the disclaimer says "professional instruments only." We had the clarinet repadded by one of the top people in the country, and I asked him, given what I had in the horn and what the repad would cost if I would be better off buying a new E-11 or E-13. His response was, you will have a professional instrument if you spend the money on this one. Definately worth it! I am quite surprised that more people aren't looking for these!
