Description Brand: Buffet Crampon Body Material: Wood Design: Boehm System Skill Level: Professional MPN: Does Not Apply Country/Region of Manufacture: France Key: Bb Model: R13 Type: Bb Soprano
This is a beautiful, highly sought after "Golden Era" Buffet R13 from 1966. No cracks, beautiful tight grained wood. The bell is redder than the rest of the body but completely original. I replaced the standard thumbrest with an adjustable one. Pads were new several years ago but it hasn't been played much since then. It's playable as is, sounds sweet as can be, but it would be even better if a tech looked it over, oiled the keys and checked to see that the pads are still seated and sealing well. No mouthpiece included - most professionals have one they already like. If you're purchasing for an advancing student and need a mouthpiece, please feel free to contact me and we'll work something out based on the recipient's playing style.Comes in original hard plastic Buffet case, in good condition with normal scratches here and there.If you would like more pictures or angles, just let me know. This clarinet is mine, in my possession, and I know what it is and how to play it - I've been playing 20+ years so I'd be happy to answer any questions you have.Good luck!
