Re: Buying New Clarinet

I really appreciate the feedback, thanks!! Intonation has unfortunately always been an issue on my R13. I don’t think it’s a matter of “learning to play my instrument in tune”… Approaching a note from a deficit of -20/+20 cent isn’t the same as correcting for just a couple of cents per note. Especially when the clarinet itself is inconsistent. Barrels and bells are a gimmick imo.

The professionals that play on R13s have probably play tested over 2 dozen instruments before choosing one that was good, and with that process you can absolutely find an R13 that plays better than a Divine (hyperbole)… but you get the idea.

Unfortunately when I first purchased my R13 I did not have the knowledge I have today… I would have tried many more. I found an international vendor that is selling the RC Prestige at half price. I will try a Traditional and R13 Prestige as well.
