Buffet Crampon Paris professional-model clarinet, serial number 50380. Beautiful, well-cared-for instrument that appears to have been previously owned by a professional musician. No cracks. Raw nickel-silver keywork. Comes with its original 65mm barrel and a custom 66mm barrel marked Harry Jones Hollywood. Includes period gladstone case and Beechler hard rubber mouthpiece and Bonade ligature. Please see photographs. The mechanism is tight. We overhauled this clarinet with new double-skin pads and corks. Own this great clarinet for $995 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 before you play 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.
