Vintage Auguste Buffet Bb Boehm Clarinet
$675
This lovely 1920's Bb Boehm system clarinet from Auguste Buffet of Paris was marketed in the USA by Holton. The instrument is made of fine grained grenadilla wood with nickel alloy keys, posts and rings, and a bore of .580". There are no cracks or repairs, its in great shape for it's c.100 years and appears to have been little used!
Its been disassembled, soaked in oil, the mechanism swedged and countersunk, body, keys, rings, and posts buffed, white leather pads and corks installed. This clarinet plays with a big, warm tone, even response, and good intonation. Comes with vintage case (possibly original) in clean, solid condition.
