Frequently Asked Questions

The E-11 has a more even tone across the range than a vintage R13, which can be darker and more complex. The R13 has more character but the E-11 is more consistent.
While a very capable instrument, most top-tier orchestras prefer the more refined projection and tonal nuances of the flagship Buffet models like the Prestige. It’s certainly usable, but not the first choice.
Regularly applying a wood preservative oil, especially in drier climates, is crucial to prevent the grenadilla from drying out and potentially cracking. Proper storage in a case with humidity control is also highly recommended.
