Should I Upgrade from E11 and to What Clarinet?

Author: StormFalcon32

I currently playing on an E11. I would say I'm an "advanced" level high school player (got into All State, albeit with a crappy seat) and I'll probably play throughout high school (I'm a first year) and most likely through college (not as a music major though). Since the E11 is (I think) almost the highest intermediate model, I feel like skipping the next step (which is something like an E13 if I'm remembering correctly) is probably the best, which would put me in the R13 "entry level pro" bracket. So the question is, will I be gaining anything substantial that a player at my level can appreciate, or is my E11 going to be Ok? If I do upgrade, what should it be to? Of course R13 is the gold standard but I've heard you need to try them out and I might not have that luxury. I've also heard good things about the Yamaha custom clarinets like the CSVR, but there's a ton of those in similar price brackets so I'm not really sure what the heirarchy of those is. Thanks for the help
