I do think it's really worth meeting the clarinets and actually trying them though. I mean if the OP has found an R13 that he likes and he can afford it, then I think there is a lot to be said for buying it. A lot is to do with how the individual instrument fits with the players hands too, and only he can determine that by trying them.

Also, getting an instrument is as much like a relationship as it is like buying a work tool. I think if you really feel drawn to a particular instrument then it's much easier to commit to it for all the time that is going to be needed to make things work.

fwiw, I found that £2.5k clarinets did not sound better than £1.8k clarinets, even though I tried a lot of them. £1.8k clarinets seemed to sound *a lot* better than £1k clarinets. I think you have to meet them and try them, and preferably take along a friend who will be honest about whether they sound good.
