It is truly rare for a single manufacturer, let alone a single model, to become the standard for an artistic community. The R13 has done just that—rising to near-legendary acclaim since its inception in 1950. This flagship instrument consistently performs in all musical settings, from solo performances to symphonic orchestras, making it a favorite of principal clarinetists world-over.

 

R13 clarinets are available in stained grenadilla or Greenline material, and keywork in nickel or silver plating. The included 66mm barrel tunes at 440 Hz. The R13 is delivered in an attaché style case.
