Consignment A Buffet Crampon R13 with Nickel Keys (Fully Restored)

The Buffet Crampon R13 A Clarinet is a remarkable example from the celebrated “Golden Era” of Buffet craftsmanship. Featuring beautifully aged, tight-grained grenadilla wood and nickel-plated keywork, this R13 delivers the rich, resonant tone, effortless response, and exceptional projection that have made vintage Paris-made R13s so highly sought after by players for decades.

This particular clarinet has been fully restored by our affiliate repair partner, Winkler’s Woodwind Specialties, including new pads, new corks, mechanism optimization, and resurfaced tone holes. The body remains in exceptional condition with no evidence of previous cracks or repairs, and the mechanism feels smooth, responsive, and remarkably refined under the fingers.

Included with the instrument is a new double Protec case. Responsive, elegant, and beautifully restored, this vintage R13 is an outstanding opportunity for players seeking the unmistakable character of a true Paris-made classic.
