Sinbad007,
Do yourself a favor: Find a good teacher first, then discuss the gear. Skygardener and others who suggested that you seriously consider what mouthpiece/reed combination to start with are absolutely right. If you want one of the best clarinets made, I won't stop you from buying one. But you might be better off getting a plastic Yamaha, Vito, or Buffet B12. Canadian cold wont hurt it, but could create problems for a new R13.
Search this Web site for suggestions. You're welcome to spend $3,000 on a new clarinet, since you're starting late. But I'd urge you to get a good mouthpiece and reed combination with a less expensive model and learn how to play it first. By the time you're ready for an R13, you're bound to enjoy it more.
Good luck.
