I'd borrow another or maybe two R13s and compare them side by side.

If your clarinet is still having more problems then the loaners, find a really, really, really good clarinet technician/engineer/artist/genius that knows the R13 top to bottom and routinely sets up clarinets for professionals. There may be only a hand full of such individuals around that you can trust to take some wood out of your instrument, if that's what it needs ...

This might be costly, but then again, might just be some junk in a register vent or tone hole, left over tuna salad stuck in the bore, MP warped, barrel funny, small leak ... etc. Or, might be within the tolerances of expectations for R13s ...

I bought an old Selmer (cheaply) a while back and it played weird ... found something that looked like dried spinach leaves stuck in the bore ... I guess regurgitated side salad from Wendy's modified the bore specifications ...

I used an M13 (plain) and Scott 66mm (AA3?) barrel and V12s with my R13s and those clarinets were mostly awesome, in many ways ... but did have some quirks that you had to watch out for ...

So, short circuit guessing and let a pro take a look if you don't see something obvious ...

You know, it's not a crazy idea, send Tom Ridenour a message and see if he has someone to recommend ... he understands clarinet acoustics and should know a direction to turn ...
