A master-level instrument for any player or style.
The Buffet R13 Bb Clarinet is crafted from carefully selected grenadilla wood. The R13 Clarinet features undercut tone holes, power-forged keywork pre-plated in copper and finished in nickel plate, 17 keys and 6 rings, hand-burnished poly-cylindrical bore, double skin pads.
This instrument has been completely restored and is in excellent condition. This vintage of R13 features a lever spring on the G#/C# key and is a very desirable feature.
