Selmer Series 9* Bb Clarinet

A wonderful example of Selmer's clarinet craftsmanship,
circa 1965.  This instrument was overhauled by us
about a year ago, and is now offered on consignment
by the owner.  It's in 120517140466great condition, with
no visible cracks or plating wear.  The nickel silver
plating was cleaned, but not polished.  Pads and corks
are still in fine shape.  Comes in its original Vanguard
case.

This clarinet has the warm tone, crisp response and
precise intonation that is characteristic of Selmer
clarinets of this era.  They are often favored by jazz
players, though plenty of symphonic musicians have
played on them over the years.  The perfect instrument
for a woodwind doubler or and advanced student ready
to "move up" to a professional clarinet.

banded.  Nickel silver keys are buffed to a high polish.

sound.  Comes with our full, one-year warrantly.

Selmer "Centered Tone" Clarinet

A classic, from 1956, this "Centered Tone" clarinet,
serial #Q5713 is a full Boehm system, with 6 rings, an
articulated G# key, and a low Eb key.  The low Eb key
would give the player the range of an A clarinet without
the expense of an additional instrument.  This one is
scheduled for complete restoration in 2008.

Selmer "Signet" Clarinet

The "Signet" was Selmer's intermediate line of clarinets
during the 1960's and '70's.  They were very nicely
made instruments and, when overhauled and set up
properly, make very fine horns for advanced students,
doublers or pros looking for a back-up.  The wood stock
was better back then, so if you can find one that is not
cracked, it probably never will.  The body of this one is
perfect.  It is scheduled for complete overhaul in late
2007.

Buffet R-13 B-Flat Clarinet
Classic Buffet R-13 clarinet, manufactured in 1973.  
Serial number 142,XXX.  In great condition, this clarinet
was recently overhauled in our shop.  It has the warm,
focused sound and precise intonation that is
characteristic of Buffet clarinets.

The grenadilla wood body show no signs of cracking or
of ever having been pinned for cracks.  The nickel silver
plated keys show some scratches and plating wear at
the touch-points, in keeping with the instrument's age.
The upper joint has a mixture of cork and skin pads, the
lower joint is all skin.  All corks, pads and tenons are in
excellent condition.  The right-hand thumb rest has
been changed over to the newer, adjustable type for
extra comfort in playing.  Comes in its original Buffet
case.           $1200

Buffet R-13 B-Flat Clarinet
Great-playing Buffet R-13 clarinet, serial number
138,XXX, built around 1973.  Warm, even tone; tight,
focused sound; impeccable scale.

The grenadilla wood body has no cracks and shows no
signs of ever having been pinned.  If it hasn't cracked in
over 30 years, if probably never will, if it's treated
properly.  These older Buffet's are made of better
quality wood than is commonly available today.  Why
buy a new one, only to have it crack in the first few
years?

The upper joint has been re-padded recently, with a
combination of cork and bladder pads.  The lower joint
pads are a bit older, but still quite serviceable.  Nickel
silver keys are slightly tarnished, but in great shape.

A great instrument for the pro or advanced student.

Leblanc Eb Alto Clarinet

A professional alto clarinet, made by Leblanc, one of the great
French clarinet makers.  The grenadilla wood body is in
excellent condition.  The neck, bell and keys are nickel silver
plated.  There is some plating wear on the key touch-points.  
Bladder pads throughout are in good condition.

A very nice, easy blowing alto clarinet with a warm tone and
nicely balanced scale.  Pitched in the same key as the alto
saxophone, these clarinets make a great "double" for the jazz
musician or can be use orchestrally or in concert band.  Pro
horn at an economical price.
