Vintage Buffet Crampon R13 Bb Clarinet

One of several professional clarinets we are offering for sale.  This is a vintage Buffet Crampon R13 in Bb. S/n 91XXX makes it 1965-1966, right at the start of Buffet’s Golden Era.  It appears to have very little playing time on it:  nickel plating has just moderate wear, wood body has no chips, cracks, or repairs, tenons are square with no wobble between joints.  Just through the shop where it had all new tenon corks installed and was repadded in a combination of Ferree’s B17 de’Jur double-bladder, pressed felt pads and Ferree’s premium cork pads.  A very open horn with a big, dark 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 vintage Buffet one-up, three-down mouthpiece on a hard rubber Riffault blank (though these are often presented a Chedeville,) Buffet ligature and cap, new ProTec microfiber cloth, and new SuperSlick chamois swab.  All in a vintage hard case in good condition with just normal wear.  A great clarinet in great condition from one of Buffet’s best periods ever, and about $2,500 less than new!
