Buffet Crampon R13A Clarinet W/ Moennig Barrel, Valentino Overhaul!

One of several professional clarinets we are offering for sale.  This is a Buffet Crampon R13A (key of A) clarinet.  S/n 325XXX makes it 1990.  It is in excellent condition:  wood body has no cracks, chips, pins or repairs other than a hairline crack in the bell that was sealed very nicely and will never be a problem.  (On a side note, we have a couple dozen bells available, and will give you a $100 credit toward this one if you which to purchase a Backun, ICON, or another of our bells.)  Tenons are nice and square with no wobble between joints.  Nickel plating about 99.5% with little if any wear at all.  And best of all, just through the shop where it was disassembled, cleaned, bore oiled, lubed, hand polished, and had all new Valentino Master’s Series synthetic pads installed—one of the quietest and longest-lasting pads available.  Plays very nicely across the entire instrument with a bold, dark tone, soft feel to the keywork, and excellent intonation greatly improved by the upgraded Moennig barrel.  Key oil and cork grease are for local pickup only and will not be shipped, but it does include a new SuperSlick chamois swab, the Moennig barrel, and an exceptional ProTec double case with strap.  Sells new for a whopping $4,525 at M&A, so save about $2,000 and snatch this one up before the Christmas rush!
