My name is William Gati of Vintagesax, and I am selling a Buffet clarinet that is in good playing condition and survived the years very well. No cracks, breaks, missing parts, scratches or dents. It has been play tested, has some resistance, and a great tone. As you may know, 1939 was a great year for Buffet and this horn was made around that period. One pad was replaced by my tech and he says if plays wonderfully. I would still recommend that you have it serviced after you buy it.
