Fully Serviced Vintage Buffet Crampon R13 Full Boehm Professional Level Bb Clarinet.These clarinets were made at a time before mass marketing when quality came before quantity.Whoever buys it will be overjoyed. (If you disagree, then return it. I will refund you without quibble, I only ask that you pay the postage which is £12.80 Parcel Force 48).This clarinet is in truly exceptional condition for it's age and plays beautifully with a warm, rich sound across all registers.It makes perfect sense to buy a second hand used instrument of this age because the wood has proved to be stable.In addition, it makes perfect financial sense, because you will never see the full return of your investment from a new instrument, a bit like buying a new car.Second hand clarinets will always see a good return, particularly these vintage Buffets.Equally new French clarinets have also risen in price. Just check out the prices of professional level wooden clarinets and see for yourself.I have listed this at a great price and will include a professional Vandoren mouthpiece if the Buy it Now price (or very close to it) is achieved.It is in perfect playing order. I have stripped the clarinet down (something I always do before selling) and carried out a full inspection and service. The clarinet is in optimum playing condition.The clarinet plays effortlessly with beautiful intonation and seems to have a life of its own with a certain character and vibrancy that sets it apart from other clarinets, The clarinet is forgiving and fun to play - so much so, it feels like the clarinet floats on air - A truly beautiful sound that actually comes very easily and with considerably less effort than my professional vintage R13.Having serviced the clarinet, I have taken it to a colleague to inspect and test play independently (something I always undertake prior to selling any clarinet) because I believe a second opinion never hurts.My colleague was impressed both with the playability of the instrument and the adjustments I have made to my own personal spec.This clarinet is ready to sing!! Not worth taking a chance on clarinets with dubious history or clarinets which have not been test played or checked over, particularly if the clarinet is for an inspiring or professional player who needs to get it right the first time!There are lots of Clarinets for sale on Ebay, but I doubt many of these have been as carefully checked over and prepared for sale as this one has - Nightmares include: Missing Cork, Bent keys, Missing or Worn pads, Keys NOT Regulated, Keys giving Double Action, Missing parts, Joint wobble etc etc etc.Whether you are an advancing student or professional level, you need to have complete confidence in your instrument, and this clarinet will give you this.If you are looking to invest this kind of money in a professional level clarinet why would you buy a clarinet that has not been work shop prepared and test played by professionals - Its like buying a car without an MOT!Remember Buy Cheap, Pay Double!I have been playing and repairing clarinets for 35 years and I can tell you that like anything mechanical, a clarinet requires regular service, inspection and adjustment. I have fully serviced and adjusted this clarinet to a very high standard and I have total trust and confidence in it. This clarinet is performance and exam ready.All corks, pads, springs etc have been adjusted and replaced where necessary. I would never sell a clarinet that has not been thoroughly checked, and double checked.Also included in the price are any adjustments should the clarinet require it (Buyer pays postage) - I am also available to speak with you (or meet if you if you are fairly local) and advise and help any issues - I have kept in contact with many previous buyers, some of whom have become personal friends. None more so than an exceptionally talented professional player who travels from overseas for adjustments to her clarinet before any public performance in the UK. As a woodwind repairer, we are like your clarinet's GP. We know the instrument and we ensure its continued good health. She has purchased two clarinets from me to date and her career has gone from strength to strength.I have sold clarinets to countless professional and amateur players, and my feedback reflects the genuine quality of service I provide - So you have total piece of mind.*****As stated above I WILL FULLY REFUND THE BUYER IF THIS CLARINET IS NOT AS I HAVE DESCRIBED - BUYER PAYS POSTAGE*****So you have nothing to lose, but, potentially, a great deal to gain.Thanks for looking
