Vintage Buffet Crampon Bb LP Albert Clarinet
$1095 hold
A rare 1899 vintage pro Albert system clarinet in Bb LP by Buffet Crampon of Paris.. The instrument is made of grenadilla wood with nickel alloy keys, posts and rings, and a bore of .580". Body pieces are original, no cracks or repairs. This is THE clarinet for Greek/Turkish folk music, Trad Jazz, Klezmer, etc. and they don't turn up too often!
It was disassembled, soaked in oil, the mechanism swedged and countersunk, body, keys, rings, and posts buffed, white leather pads and corks installed. This pro grade clarinet is in great shape for its years and plays with a resonant, open tone and good intonation . Comes with period (possibly original) case in clean, solid condition.
