This auction is for an R13 Professional Wood Clarinet made by Buffet Crampon and a a nice buffet case in beautiful condition. This modern professional clarinet is widely regarded as the professional standard for clarinets. Buffet is known for making some of the best clarinets available, and this instrument is no different.  The instrument has been completely repadded as part of our overhaul process and was originally manufactured in the 1970s.  In terms of cosmetic condition, this instrument is in nice shape, but does show some surface wear from use. The keys were hand polished, but have some scratches and wear from years of use. The wood is in very nice condition but does have a pinned crack on the upper joint.  The instrument plays amazingly well, as is expected from an R13. It has a great dark tone, even intonation, and nice response. Also included is an original case from Buffet.  No mouthpiece is included because you will want to find one that works well for your personal playing style.
