 Re: $1200 budget - toss up on which to get.

My customers ask me this question a lot. With that kind of budget, you can buy a used R13 that has been overhauled. Or, you could purchase one on Ebay in need of repair and have it worked on. I've done this many times with the goal of reselling. A few of them were really excellent players after the overhaul. In my opinion, for the same budget, the end result of the R13 is going to better than a Ridenour.

Beware of many Ebay clarinets that have been overhauled. I have a lot of customers who bought clarinets this way and have to send them to me immediately because the "overhaul" just included replacement pads. Make sure they have a long list of things that were done to the instrument.

Of course, if you really want a C clarinet, then it might be hard to find a Buffet for that price.
