Buffet, RC, B Flat Clarinet
A very good condition Buffet RC Bb clarinet in silver plate, which is a commission sale for Clarinets Direct. This clarinet was used once weekly as a "teaching" clarinet at the Royal Scottish Conservatoire, and consequently has seen little use. The Buffet RC model was launched in 1975, and named after Robert Carree, who had had a long career with Buffet Crampon, which culminated in him being chief designer. The RC places the speaker tube higher, and features a slighter wider initial polycylindrical bore than the R13. Most players find this results in a warmer, more "spread" tone, than the R13.
There is no damage to the wood, which is crack and repair free. All pieces are matching and original and stamped "Buffet". The plating overall is very good, with no wear This Bb has matching S/N 285754, dating to 1987. The instrument has just been re-padded in fish skin pads and is sold with our full 1 year warranty. The case is the original in good condition and comes with the keys
