Re: Value of R13 A clarinet

Hi there, I decided to buy and repad the 1978 R13 A clarinet... It has a gorgeous tone quality but the jury is still out regarding intonation (that said, the least in tune Buffet A clarinet I've played was from 2004!!!).
What is worth mentioning is that the 1963 B flat (also nickel keys) that came with it is GORGEOUS!!!!! The intonation is comparable with my Buffet Festival, but the sound just amazing, warmer but not dull... It's a real "singer" of a horn!
All the major players here have super neato clarinets with shiny buttons etc, but this old dunger (keys worn, tonehole chimneys worn etc) sounds like gold compared to the newer Buffets.
