Description: SquareTrade © AP6.0 Offered is a vintage Evette Schaeffer Bb clarinet made by Buffet Crampon, Paris, France c.1954. Serial number K11666. The K Series began around 1953 during the Golden Age of Buffet musical instruments when Paul Evette and Ernst Schaeffer owned the company. According to the Buffet website, the Evette Schaeffer clarinet is almost identical to to the famed professional R-13. The only discernible differences are in the right hand pinky keys. There is also rumor that slightly flawed wood was saved for making the Evette Schaeffer model. Still identical to the R-13 in it's polycylindrical bore and undercut tone holes on the bottom joint. A far superior model to the modern E-13 which retails for over $1800. This Evette Schaeffer is in excellent condition considering its age. The wood is tight grained and well oiled. The keys are nickel plated with some heavy wear on the right hand key touches. The rest of the plating is about 65% intact. Mechanically in excellent condition. All keys fitting tightly between the posts. Evidence of a well repaired crack in the upper joint (see photos). We just overhauled this wonderful instrument with Buffet style white pads, all new corks and felts. Plays beautifully with a deep rich tone and a fluid action. In tune at A=440. Comes with a used but good condition case. Great price for a great clarinet!!!! Shipping will be a flat $25 in the US. Email us for international rates. Thanks for looking!
