I was under the impression the E13 had the same (similar?) bore as the RC. These instruments certainly differ from the R13 in their tonal concept, while I felt like a very fine pre-update E13 sounded like much like my RC.
Both come with 65mm barrels, so I'm not sure whether the R13 is inherently made for A=440hz, since that one mm difference could translate to a 2hz difference.
With the recent changes to the R13, RC and E13, most apparent through the new adjustment screws, their exterior is identical at first glance. On the homepage, it says the E13 inherited the RC's bell, which is its "sister clarinet", whatever that means, but its bore is supposed to be derived from the BC20. Buffet is secretive as about ever on what their bores actually look like.
Best regards,
