For Sale: Buffet R13 "Festival" Bb Clarinet, silver-plated keys
I am the original owner since 1996 and used this clarinet through high school and college as a music major.

The silver plating is 100% and there are no cracks or adjustments needed at this time. All pads are Goretex or cork. The Festival model has metal tenon rings that all but rule out the possibility of tenons cracking (see photos). Two barrels are included: a barely used 660 and a well-used 650. I play this horn almost daily as I work as a band director, so it has been very well cared for, never stored.

My private studio consists entirely of bass clarinet students now, so I have decided to sell this Festival to help me purchase a low-C bass clarinet. This has been a great horn for me over the years. I've used it in bands and orchestras here and abroad.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope to add sound files soon. Photos at http://members.tripod.com/beaupiper/photo.htm . Buyer pays shipping and insurance. $1800
