Re: Differences between CSVR and R13

Played the R13's for close to 40 years. Then I picked up the CSVR's and sold 16 R13's. The sound is surely different up close. But in a hall you can't really hear the difference. The reason for switching was the A clarinet mainly. It is a dream horn to play. Resistance is like playing on a Bb. The R13's are stuffy. I also found the upper registers above high C on the Yamaha's are a breeze to play. With the Buffet's it can be a bit scary wondering if some notes will pop out or not. I can attack the notes on with power and no fear.

So there are the people that won't ever leave Buffet. I know I won't change them. But these Yamaha's are worth looking into. Yes they are pro level and top symphony players do play these horns.
