Inexpensive Buffet Crampon R13 Clarinet--Serviced, No Cracks, Vintage Selmer MP!

Description: Welcome to Ashantee Music!Matching Exceptional Students With Quality Instruments One of the least expensive Buffet Crampon R13 Bb clarinets we are offering for sale. This one is in very good condition: no chips, cracks or repairs to the wood body, plating about 95% with minor wear mostly on the barrel rings and a few key tips. Pads are in excellent condition, and it was just through the shop where it was bore oiled, had 4-5 new pads installed, and one tenon cork. Plays very well with an even response across the entire instrument, 12th’s in tune, and a moderately dark tone. S/n 279XXX on the lower and 242XXX on the upper—both well matched mid-80’s. Cork grease and Conn bore oil are for local pickup only and will not be shipped, but it does include a nice, vintage Selmer hard rubber 115 mouthpiece in a C35 facing, ligature, Buffet cap, swab, and a new ProTec microfiber cloth. All in the slim pochette case with zippered case cover. The price of new R13’s in nickel has just gone up to a whopping $4,216, so save more than $2,600, and snatch this one up before the off-to-conservatory rush!

Many items such as clarinets and oboes come out of adjustment during the shipping process, and can be easily tweaked by your local technician. We are happy to talk you through this process.
