Buffet Full Boehm (150^th Anniversary) clarinet in B-flat, serial number F197383, manufactured in Paris, ca. 1975.  African Blackwood with silver alloy keys, posts, and tenon rings.  Full Boehm key system with range to low E-flat.  Sold in “as is” condition.  All keys in good adjustment.  Consistent tone quality throughout all registers, with excellent intonation.  Both body joints hold proper vacuum on suction test with tone holes covered.  Wood in excellent condition, no cracks or prior repairs.  65 mm tuning barrel.  Original black hardshell Buffet case in excellent condition. 

Includes Buffet mouthpiece with Buffet cap, cork grease, and swab cloth.  Pads are mostly original, with the exception of 7 Valentino synthetic replacements (done by a previous owner): Low E-flat, Low F-sharp, Low G-sharp, LH D-sharp, Throat G-sharp, and the two highest upper-joint side keys. Plays easily as is, but buyer will wish to have a technician service it.  Key fittings and action are excellent.

Buffet Full Boehm clarinets are difficult to find.  The key system offers a number of advantageous options for fingering.  I am a professional woodwind teacher, and have played Buffet clarinets for over 30years.  This instrument plays and sounds as good as any R-13 I have owned or played.
