Larry - congratulations on having a student excell!
I "do" a lot of E-flat. I love the Eeffer. Here's my advice - Sounds like the R13 has been around the block a few times, and has issues. Tone holes taped up for intonation, and still a little whacky. I would go for the E11. Here's the gig - The E11 is actually a wonderful wee horn. I play one as a professional. Here's what you need to do, tho - you'll need to get a Clark Fobes lower joint extension, that will even out the bottom of the horn. Then get his barrel - get the 42mm barrel in blackwood, that should solve your high C. Don't fear the German made E11, it is billed as a student horn but built as a pro horn. It is made as a R13 would have been made 20 years ago. (And yes, I use a Fobes mouthpiece on the Eeffer too!)
