RE: key adjustment?

If money is no object, I'd try several R13's and buy one. The Concerto is also great and some have said that the acoustics are similar. However, if you decide on something else later, the R13 will be relatively easy to sell. There are subtle sound enhancements in the R13 that are not easy to describe but are heard by the listener. The disadvantages to the R13 include the tendencies for the E2 to be low in pitch, the B3 and C3 to be high in pitch, and the F4 and F# 4 to be low in pitch. I have two fairly new nickle plated R13's and find them quite slippery on the fingers. This abates in time. My older silver plated and unplated nickle Buffets seem less slippery to me. If money again is no object, I'd buy the silver plated R13. If you don't expose it to extremes of temperature, I'd not buy a Greenline. Good Wishes and Have Fun!!
