Re: Advice about R13's

Hello Marley,

Thank you for clarifying the "golden age" of R13 clarinets. I have collected an R13 in Bb [192***] which should date from 1979 and an older R13 in A [136***] which should date from 1973. Both of them sound as good to my elderly [amateur] ear as my more modern Festivals and R13 Vintage instruments.

I suspect that such older instruments sit on the shelves with dealers, having been traded, for long periods unless some knowledgeable person recognises their inherent musical value.

Good luck with your search,

Jim
