I am not interested so much in technical details, I would like to know how the sound, response/resistance, tuning is on the Festival vs regular R13 and vs Prestige R13/RC.

I was thinking about going to the Buffet showroom but they have new clarinets and I am looking for a used one. I am not sure that the new Festival (or Prestige) would be the similar or even close to the instruments produced 10-20 years ago.

I would appreciate if anyone who has had the experience playing or even trying Festival and Prestige, could share it here.

Thanks
