This Vintage Buffet Crampon&Cie clarinet is in excellent playing condition. It was overhauled by a reputable repairman, including new pads, tenon corks, and cleaned throughout. Plays beautifully. The serial number, 23248, indicates the instrument was created in 1937, professional model. It predates the R-13 by about 20 years. Normal wear and tear in the keys, no cracks, absolutely beautiful. Made in France, needs a loving home. Will come with a Beechler 4S mouthpiece and in a fabulous ProTec International gig case, worth $90, no strap.
