You are probably aware that the s13 is a student model instrument designed for players with smaller hands. If this is a concern for you, consider it. Historical background, if needed--Wentzel Schreiber was the former shop foreman at Puchner, had been with Puchner for about 34 years before going out on his own after WW2, so we are talking about a fair amount of experience at bassooon making (I believe he passed his considerable experience on to his children).
For myself, I latched onto a VERY good deal on a Schreiber. (Model 5016, I think). It`s their top-line professional instrument, and I LOVE IT!!!! As far as I`m concerned, forget about looking for something better; I`ll play this horn until it`s time to lay it on top of me.
Shortly after I purchased it, I had it evaluated by a pro player who offered to swap her Heckel for it; and I don`t think she was kidding. She described it as a songbird, very easy to get a nice singing sound out of it (she said she had to really work to get her Heckel to do what my Schreiber did with almost no effort at all. Based on my experience, yes, go for it, especially if you can get a good price. It will probably do everything you could ever want it to do, and more.

Schreiber Bassoon Serial Numbers
The Schreiber list in Maarten Vonk's book starts at #5250 (1960). It's a little unclear from what he writes, but it sounds like records may not exist for serial numbers earlier than that. But, we can guess. For the first half of the 1960s, Schreiber used an average of about 675 serial numbers per year. Schreiber Bassoons. Schreiber 100% MADE IN GERMANY.
