Buffet S1 Clarinet in superb condition. Dated around the early 1980’s this fabulous instrument has had only minimal professional use over the years serving as a spare instrument for the previous owner. The wood shows no cracks. Nickel silver keywork in great condition. Plays effortlessly with a sweet, smooth Buffet sound. Intonation is excellent. Ideal for any advanced or professional player. 65mm barrel and presented in a Reed and Squeak NEW single case. No original case. Recently serviced with new corks and felts. All pads seal perfectly. A great value instrument very similar to a Buffet R13.

Information sourced from Clarinets Direct reads:

When the American investor Martin Tolchin bought Buffet Crampon in the mid 1970's he felt that though the R13 sold well in the USA, different models would be more successful in Europe. The S1, Continentale and BC20, which became the RC, were all attempts to make darker, more focused sounding clarinets. In the case of the S1 this is partly achieved by much less undercutting of the tone holes.
