Buffet Crampon, Plateau, B Flat Clarinet
This is an ultra rare Buffet Crampon plateau Bb clarinet, so rare in fact, that it is one of only 3 examples that Clarinets Direct has handled. The serial numbers are 15365 which dates to 1935, it was most probably a custom order. The instrument is fully covered hole. It plays extremely well across the range at A=440Hz with a modern standard French bore m'piece, a stock Buffet is included. This fine and unique clarinet has just had a full and complete restoration with Clarinets Direct, including all new pads, the majority of which are tan leather, it is sold with our full 1 year warranty. The upper joint has cracked and has been pinned twice in the past. We have re-sealed this old repair and this is covered by our warranty as is the sealed crack to the bell. It comes in a modern, good condition case, which is well cushioned and protects the clarinet well. This is a chance for someone to purchase a clarinet specifically designed for the younger player, doubler or even the arthritic player who may have difficulty covering the standard open-tone-hole. Alternatively this clarinet might well appeal to a collector because of its' rarity.
