Used Buffet R13 Clarinet – ProShop Overhauled

Used Buffet R13 Professional Clarinet
Made in 2011 | Silver Keys | ProShop Overhauled

The Buffet R13 is the “legendary choice of professionals”. It is the most popular professional clarinet that has ever existed. Noted for its wonderful tone, intonation and responsiveness, just about every major clarinetist has played on or is currently playing on an R13 clarinet. However, with a great clarinet typically comes a great price! This is why we are always on the hunt for a great Used Buffet R13 in order to provide our customers with better values. We don’t always have a used Buffet R13 on hand, but when we do, they will be listed on this page.

Used Buffet R13 with Silver keys: Serial 614368 – made 2011
This used Buffet R13 was originally sold new by our shop in 2011. Its body has never been cracked and was cared for well.

Chadash Barrel Included
This clarinet was originally purchased with an extra barrel, the Chadash Bb 66mm barrel, which is one of our all time favorites on modern R13 clarinets! The original R13 66mm barrel is also included, but most players will prefer the extra tonal color and presence that the Chadash barrel provides.

This clarinet has received our ClarinetRepairs.com ProShop Overhaul. Full details of that overhaul can be found by clicking here. The big benefit of this job is that it revitalizes the instrument. In this job, we make sure that every tonehole is precisely level and the extruding profile is properly cut. This gives more reliable pad seal and the profile provides for proper air venting increasing tonal presence while decreasing stuffy tones. As a result, this vintage Buffet gives an amazing performance and response that is not matched in modern clarinets.

The pads used in this clarinet were our preferred “MasteRoo” configuration. This combination of the Masters Series synthetic on the upper joint and Kangaroo Leather on the lower joint optimizes the precision and projection required in the upper end of the clarinet and the lusher sweet tones in the lower end.
