Re: R13 modified with plateau keys

Hi Jerry,
I had the carpal tunnel surgery about 6 months ago and I'd say it was about 75% successful. The surgeon tells me it may improve a little more but not much. The plateau Vito kept me playing without much difficulty and as soon as I had my hand unwrapped I was able to play my conventional instrument. I'm going to hang on to the Vito, because the left hand is going the same way and sometime up the track I'm going to have to get the left wrist done as well.
As to how it performs, it's a bit brighter than I'm accustomed to and there was some degree of stuffiness around the right hand. I opened up the venting slightly and that seems to have fixed that problem. Apart from that I'm quite impressed with it. As a relatively low-cost student-level instrument it punches above it weight, and the keywork is typical Leblanc, built like a battleship. I haven't found it to be particularly resistant, and tuning is quite good, although not up to R13 levels. (Most R13's, I've come across some real dogs.)

Tony F.
