Buffet Paris Festival Greenline Bb Clarinet in Superb Condition - Serial # 655855

This is an excellent condition Buffet Crampon Paris Festival series clarinet in Bb, serial number 655855. This is a Greenline series Festival, perfect for players who find themselves in cold pits or outdoor gigs, but who don't want to settle for a lesser clarinet. Its body will not crack like traditional grenadilla wood, so you don't have to worry about your clarinet going down at the worst time.

This clarinet was properly maintained over its life with regular shop visits to keep it in perfect playing shape. Pads are all in great shape and the clarinet is sealing and playing perfectly. Its precisely adjusted key action feels crisp under your fingers. The instrument comes in its original Buffet case with original bell and barrels (65mm and 66mm, all Greenline too).

This is a very open feeling clarinet with less resistance than I was expecting, and is overall a free blowing instrument. It has a vibrant sound and carries well. A great instrument for today's busy musician who doesn't want to worry about cracks/costly repairs. The Festival sells new now for $7000, making this a great option for a very well-cared-for instrument.
