Frequently Asked Questions

The 19/6 has a more modern, refined feel with improved keywork ergonomics compared to the R13, though it retains the classic Buffet tonal character. The R13 might have a slightly more 'vintage' feel, but the 19/6 offers greater consistency and playability.
Yes, GT pads are known for their superior resonance and longevity. They contribute to a richer, more responsive sound and require less frequent replacement than many standard pads.
While versatile, the cylindrical bore leans towards a darker tone, which might require more effort to achieve a bright, cutting jazz sound. However, a skilled player can still adapt and achieve desirable results.
