From Buffet: 

"The Legendary Choice of Professionals was created in 1955 by Robert Carrée and is the most popular professional clarinet in the world. Its tone is focused and rich, and it is powerful in all registers.

Its flexibility lends itself to all repertoires: symphonies or chamber music, soloists, teachers, military bands, students or amateurs."

What else can be said about the most popular clarinet? The Buffet R-13 has been the go to choice for clarinetist since 1955. This R-13 was made in France in the mid 1970s. Made with beautiful grenadilla wood and has nickel keys, this clarinet was made with a lot of care and it shows. 

Our professional woodwind technician spent some quality time working on this R-13 to put it into good playing condition. BY quality time, we mean FULLY REPADDING this entire instrument. It's been overhauled, and the only thing that we didn't replace were the tenon corks as they were still in good shape.

This instrument is a great player and is in great cosmetic condition, as well. Only very, very mild wear is starting to show on a couple keys, which is impressive for a 50-year old clarinet! The wood is in great shape, and so is its original case.

Don't delay- come try this beautiful Buffet R-13 Bb Clarinet today!
