Vintage Wood Clarinet; Buffet brand; key B flat; Good Condition; Made in Paris - $3,900 - (Sheboygan, WI)
PLEASE READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION TO APPRECIATE THE HISTORY OF THIS UNIQUE INSTRUMENT:I'm selling this antique collector’s item clarinet "Buffet A Paris". It was manufactured sometime between 1825 and 1844. It comes in what looks to be its original case.It needs to be serviced to play properly because it presents a crack (visible in the photos) on the side of the first section and it needs new corks and pads.It uses the Boehm system in B flat.The Price is 3500.00 Dollars.Clarification:You can check the origin of this instrument by understanding the history of Buffet Crampon. You will see that the company was created in 1825 by the founder Denis Buffet, who died in 1841leaving the company to his son Jean Louis Buffet (who had been working in the workshop with his father Denis since 1830). Jean Louis Buffet married a woman whose surname was Crampon in 1836. The company was re-established in 1844 under the name of "Buffet Crampon".You can tell this clarinet was made between 1825 and 1844 because the engraved Buffet logo does not does not include the name "Crampon" as the ones that were manufactured after 1844.In short, this is an instrument from the world leading brand in clarinets, which is worth restoring to enjoy the sound produced by a clarinet that is almost 200 years old.
