"I heard about the yamaha 650 cl. And I tried one. It just didn't sound right tho, but when I tried the r13 it sounded perfect".

A good R13 will not lose much value over the years.

However, there is one more clarinet I would try if I were you: Selmer 10/10S/10G.

There are pro clarinets from mostly 70th, the key are indestructible (made of very hard metal), and the wood is good.

You can find a very good one for less than $1K.

A R13 in good condition will be definitely much more money.

On local CL, there were many Yamahas and only one R13.
The Yamahas are still selling and the R13 is gone. Make your own conclusion.

CL is good because the prices are less than on eBay and you can see/test the instrument before buying.

P.S.
One more thing to consider is the "law of diminishing return"- a $3K clarinet most likely will not play three times better then a $1K one.
