Buffet Crampon R13 Bb Clarinet
One of several professional clarinets we are offering for sale. This is a Buffet Crampon R13 in Bb. S/n 206XXX makes this a vintage 1980, and it is in very good condition: wood is an excellent billet of aged grenadilla with a tight, straight grain and no chips or cracks. Tenons are nice and square with no wobble between joints. Nickel plating about 99% with a little wear showing on the ends of some posts if you look closely, but polishes up very nicely. Unlike most of the clarinets you may be looking at, this one is just through the shop where it had all new pads installed with a premium cork up and Ferree’s B17 de’Jur lower. Plays very nicely across all registers with good intonation and a crisp feel to the keywork. Cork grease and key oil are for local pickup only and will not be shipped, but it does include a new ProTec microfiber cloth, new SuperSlick chamois swab, Buffet 125 mouthpiece in an F2A facing, and a Buffet ligature. All in a very nice Kaces case with large zippered pocket. A great-playing, great-looking instrument at more than $2,500 savings compared to new!
