Description: This granadilla wood E11 is a very nice example of a German-made Buffet clarinet that would be considered an intermediate model or a step up from a plastic student model. By looking at it you can tell that it has been well taken care of. This clarinet has minimal scratching and there are no cracks. The key plating is in excellent condition. This instrument was just serviced: taken apart and polished, all new Valentino pads were installed, plus it was lubricated and the key height was adjusted when it was re-assembled. I've found that often it's the small adjustments that make a big difference in how enjoyable an instrument is to play. I started playing clarinet 61 years ago and these days I restore clarinets exclusively. Over the years I've refurbished more than 1,200 of these Bb clarinets, many of which have been sold here on eBay. Therefore, you can check out the feedback from other happy customers and be confident that you're buying a quality instrument that plays great. I feel I've done my best to ensure that this one fits that description. After testing this clarinet, I've found that it does everything well- it plays easily from top to bottom and has that rich Buffet sound. The tone is enhance by the excellent Vandoren mouthpiece. This clarinet comes with a Vandoren M13-Lyre mouthpiece that will really make this baby sing! Generally these Vandoren mouthpieces cost $100. Also comes with new cork grease and a new reed. The case has typical wear and is in good working condition. The serial number is 1206922- matching on both the upper and lower joints. "Made in Germany" is stamped next to the serial number. Generally speaking, Buffet makes their student clarinets in Germany and their pro horns in France. Clarinet will be shipped quickly by Priority Mail or FedEx following payment. Please email me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
