Hello Paul,

Last summer at the clarinet festival in KC, I extensively play tested LOTS of clarinets with the intent of purchasing a new matching Bb and A. I was playing on an older set of R13's from the late 70's and wanted to see what else was out there. In any case, by far, I was most impressed with the sound and feel of the Recital clarinets compared to all of the other Selmers. However, I couldn't bring myself to change my technique due to the shear weight of the instrument, ie. add a neck strap or different type of thumb rest, etc. To make a long story short....I ended up with a matching set of Yamaha SE-V's....absolutley love the feel, the sounds and the impeccable intonation...even liked them more than the CSG's, which I truly thought that I would end up purchasing! So...I hope that this helps!
