This is a nice vintage Buffet Crampon Paris R13 series clarinet in Bb, serial number 180947. This clarinet is a great option for any player wanting a wood R13 without having to pay the “new” price. It will ship with a fresh overhaul from our repair shop and come to its next owner in perfect playing shape.

This grenadilla wood clarinet is in a one-owner horn, but it has been awhile since it was regularly played. As such, it will get a full repad from our shop. We'll clean and oil the body, and replace all pads and material. We'll also precisely adjust the action, so that when we are done, it will feel like a new instrument under your fingers. I spotted one tiny crack starting from the top of the bottom joint (see photos), which we'll also seal. It doesn't go through any tone holes and will be an easy fix. There are no other cracks or previous crack repairs anywhere on the instrument.

I can't wait to give this clarinet a whirl once our work is complete. With the prices on new R13's continuing to inch up, a used one has never been a better option, and is perfect for advancing students and professionals alike, wanting an R13 at an affordable price.
