This is a vintage 1964-1965 Buffet Crampon professional R13 model Bb soprano clarinet. The clarinet has just been serviced for a C-O-A (cleaning, oiling, and adjustments as needed). In addition, (4) pads at the upper joint have been replaced. The remaining pads are double bladder skin pads that while old, still maintain a proper seal. I decided to leave them on as is and let the new owner decide whether they want to get a complete pad replacement or not. Also, the keys have been lightly polished.

Clarinet has been play tested and all notes can be played from top to bottom. No leaky pads. All pads seal properly. I didn't see any cracks or defects to the wood body. There is no mouthpiece included with the clarinet. The case is the original pochette case. The case functions fine and the case handle works without a fault.

The serial number matches on both upper and lower joints. The number is in the 79XXX series which places date of manufacture between 1964-1965.
