Buffet Paris Evette & Schaeffer Intermediate Model Clarinet
The Evette & Schaeffer Company owned and manufactured Buffet clarinets for many years. We are not sure when they made this lovely old upper intermediate model clarinet #6480. It is remarkably like the famed Buffet produced as the model above this. The Evette was the intermediate model below it. We have restored this instrument with all new pads and corks. This instrument has had a crack professionally pinned in the upper joint. Raw nickel-silver keys. The mechanism is tight. Comes with an older Selmer HS* rubber mouthpiece and a new Pro Tec case. Own a great-playing step-up vintage French clarinet for $425 plus shipping.
Please note:
As professional repair technicians, our labor to completely overhaul a clarinet is approximately $250-$300. When you purchase one of our clarinets, it has been professionally overhauled with the mechanism tightened, new double skin pads, and new corks. While you can purchase as-is instruments for less, it is likely that you will have to invest in an overhaul either after you have purchased them or shortly thereafter. We don’t cut corners with cheaper supplies or patchwork. When you compare our quality, you will understand why we don’t accept lower “make offers” on our instruments.
