Buffet Crampon Pre-R13A Clarinet--Serviced, Moennig Barrel!

Buffet Crampon Pre-R13A Clarinet--Serviced, Moennig Barrel!

One of several intermediate and professional clarinets we are offering for sale.  This is a Buffet Crampon pre R13A (key of A), s/n 134XX.  It is in excellent condition.  Wood is a heavy billet of well-aged grenadilla with no chips, cracks, or pins that I can find.  Upper tenon has a metal cap on it, possibly for a past chip on the edge or more likely just for a worn tenon.  Plating is about 99% with just a little wear mostly on the key cup above the rings on the lower joint, and so shiny that it’s hard even to tell if it’s nickel or silver.  (I’m leaning toward silver, and the prior owner said it was silver.)  Pads are in excellent condition, obviously overhauled very recently with traditional pads, and just through our shop where it was additionally bore oiled and adjusted.  Whoever placed the tenon cap chose to keep the body intact rather than cutting it down, so there is about 0.5-1 mm gap adding to the overall length of the instrument, and I’ve included a 640 and 630 barrel rather than a 650 and 640 so that it plays in tune at the length intended.  The 630 is actually a 1231 Moennig specifically for A clarinets, so that’s a $250 bonus in value and intonation as well!  Plays very nicely across the entire instrument with an open feel and very big, dark tone. Cork grease and key oil are for local pickup only, but it does include a new SuperSlick chamois swab, new ProTec microfiber cloth, and the hard A case in good condition.  A great clarinet for your first A at a thousand less than a more recent R13, and just in time for Christmas!
