  • Set Includes: Case
  • Condition: This was my fathers. It has been in storage for years. My father played professionally all his life. I on the other hand do not have a single musical bone in my body, lol. I am offering this cheaper than prior sold for a couple of reasons. I am sure is will need cleaned and serviced and I am ready for it to go to a new home. There are no cracks to the wood or damage, just normal wear from use. These are getting harder and harder to come by. I know my father LOVED this and played no others. All the cork is solid and not crumbling. My dad use to put something on them before he put the instrument together but I don't know what that is. Also did not know how to clean the wood or even if I should. Handle on the case is old and cracked. A lot of the pictures make it look black but it is a dark brown. Last pic shows serial number

    Description

    Up for sale, a vintage 1966 Buffet R13 clarinet. This lands right in the "Golden Era" of these horns.
    As for the condition, the wood looks good with no visible cracks that I see. Pads look quite old. Key-work seems to work smooth. It undoubtedly needs a top to bottom cleaning. Should be an incredible horn after that.
    (Out of curiosity I did an "inflation calculator", 2 in 1967 would be 00 today. Looks about correct comparing modern prices for this horn.)
    This will ship tracked and insured.
