Buffet “Festival” Clarinet in A

This exceptional professional clarinet is in truly stunning condition and plays faultlessly in every respect. The silver-plated keywork is in pristine condition showing only very slight surface marks. The wood shows no cracks or any sign of surface scratches. The clarinet plays with perfect ease with a wonderfully warm and sonorous sound. LH Eb key and adjustable thumb rest. 65mm barrel. Original Buffet Double leather case. No mouthpiece.

Re-padded by Eddie Ashton, the masterful and experienced instrument technician and inventor of “Superpads”- the pad choice of many leading professional players around the world. Played professionally by the previous owner.

The Buffet website states:

Designed in 1987 with the advice of three artists that are well-known all over the world – Jacques Lancelot, Guy Deplus and Michel Arrignon – the Festival clarinet meets the requirements of today’s musicians, soloists and teachers interpreting the widest possible repertoire of works, from Mozart to Boulez.
