Buffet Crampon R13 Bb Clarinet (2016-2017) - Repad Candidate
For sale is a professional Buffet Crampon R13 Bb Clarinet, serial number 682969. Dating from 2016-2017, this is a modern R13 in excellent structural and cosmetic condition, offering the rich, focused, and powerful tone that is the professional standard. While structurally sound, it is an excellent candidate for a full repad to achieve peak performance.
ATTENTION: Excellent Repad Candidate - Priced AS IS
This clarinet is structurally sound and cosmetically clean, but the pads are old and need service to perform reliably. It is currently sealing-ish and plays alright, but a full repad will unlock its full acoustic potential.
-
REPAD OPTION: We are happy to perform a complete repad and overhaul in our shop for an additional $500 - $700, depending on the pads and level of customization desired.
This is the perfect instrument for the serious student or professional who wants a cosmetically clean, structurally modern R13 and is ready to invest in a custom repad. You get a superb platform for a lifetime horn at a lower entry price.
The Modern R13: Clean Structure, Guaranteed Tone
This R13 benefits from the consistent, high-quality manufacturing of the modern Buffet era. Its clean condition makes the repad process straightforward.
What defines this R13:
-
Cosmetic Condition: This horn has very little cosmetic wear compared to vintage models. There may be some wear around the most touched spots on the keys, but nothing significant.
-
Modern Acoustic Performance: The Grenadilla wood body and poly-cylindrical bore are in fantastic shape, ready to produce the clear, centered intonation and rich tonal core that professionals demand.
-
Structural Integrity: The wood is sound with no cracks or major damage. The clean body makes it an ideal canvas for a custom, long-lasting repad.
