We're excited to offer this Buffet Crampon R13 Festival Bb Clarinet, a truly exceptional instrument that embodies the best of Buffet Crampon's legendary craftsmanship and innovative design. This particular clarinet is in excellent condition and boasts a rich, resonant tone that will inspire any clarinetist. This one comes to us from a local musician who no longer plays, and we've been able to get it repaired and adjusted and it's now playing wonderfully.
Here's what we love about it:
- Effortless Response and Even Tone: The R13 Festival is known for its responsive and even tone throughout all registers. It's a joy to play, whether you're navigating technically demanding passages or expressing yourself through lyrical melodies.

- Comfortable and Ergonomic: The keywork feels incredibly smooth and natural under the fingers. Buffet Crampon has clearly put a lot of thought into the ergonomics, making this clarinet a joy to play for extended periods.
- Built to Last: The quality of materials and construction is evident. This clarinet is built to last and will be a reliable partner for your musical journey for years to come.
- Excellent Condition: This R13 Festival is in fantastic shape, showing only minor wear on the silver bell ring. It's been meticulously maintained and is ready to make music.
