Buffet, E11, B Flat Clarinet
A very good condition Buffet E11 clarinet, in Grenadilla wood, which is a commission sale for Clarinets Direct. This instrument is Buffet's semi-professional model, and this example has matching serial nos. 068241. In recent years the Buffet badged "France" Bb clarinet E11 model, which was made in the old Leblanc factory, gained an extremely poor reputation for build quality. So much so, that Buffet have deleted this model from their line up and, confusingly, renamed it the E12. Fortunately this E11 was made in Germany, before the move in manufacture to the French Leblanc factory and is, therefore, a significantly better made instrument. The Silver plated key work is in very good condition, with no wear. The instrument has just had an overhaul in fish skin pads. The wood throughout is in excellent condition, with no cracks or damage. An adjustable thumb rest is fitted. The supplied m'piece is the original in good used condition. This instrument comes in an excellent condition Buffet case, with still wrapped keys.
