Frequently Asked Questions
The R13 has a slightly more focused and modern tone than the Prestige, offering improved clarity and projection while retaining a warm core.
Grendilla is durable, but like all hardwoods, requires careful attention to humidity; regular wiping and occasional oiling are essential to prevent cracking.
The additional keys on the R13 allow for smoother transitions and improved intonation on more complex passages, expanding its versatility.
