One of several professional clarinets we are offering for sale. This is a Buffet Crampon R13 Bb clarinet. S/n 115XXX makes it a vintage 1970 horn, right in the middle of Buffet's Golden Era of production. It is in excellent condition:  wood is a great, aged billet of grenadilla with a tight, straight grain and no chips or cracks. Tenons are square with no wobble between joints. Nickel plating about 99% with little if any wear at all. Pads and tenon corks are in exceptional condition and it has obviously had a very recent traditional overhaul. Needed very little in our shop other than a couple minor adjustments. Plays feely and openly across the entire instrument with a dark, rich tone and lots of projection. Cork grease and key oil are for local pickup only and will not be shipped, but it does include a new SuperSlick chamois swab and new ProTec microfiber cloth.  All in the Buffet slim pochette case which is also in excellent condition. Currently selling at M&A for $4,200, so save more than $2,000, and snatch up a Buffet R13 from one of the most sought-after periods ever!

Please find us online or see our other items for more professional clarinets. International buyers, please ask about shipping, as the cost below will vary by location.
