My daughter is interested in a new Buffet R13 Bb clarinet. Can anyone tell me the differences between an:
--------------
R13A - R13 in the key of A
R13 Prestige - unstained wood, silver plated keys, extra lever, minor modifications from "standard" R13
R13 Greenline - made of grenadille dust & resin, guaranteed never to crack, essentailly identical to the "standard" R13 (but I _believe_ it's heavier)
Festival - similar to the Prestige - the modifications are slightly different
"standard" R13 - just that. Their base "pro" model.

If I can judge the "clarinet world" by what I've seen at ClarinetFests (and I don't really believe I can, but you gotta start _somewhere_!), the majority of people who played Buffets played the "standard" R13 model.
