Re: Which R13 do you like more? Mid-60s vs. mid-70s ?

An old friend of mine (pro player in Denmark and UK, often guest principal in UK orchestras) had a Buffet "Vintage" model R13 A clarinet that was the best buffet A I've ever played. She got it quite randomly (bought it without play testing) and was very lucky to score big time...
It got stolen on a train, never to be seen again.
I LOVE my mid 1970s R13 A clarinet, but it's quite resistant. Perfect for 2nd clarinet, would have to fight to perform a concerto on it. Many other things about it that I love, but you do feel like you're "fighting" the instrument to play above mf dynamic.
