    Offered is a gorgeous solid grenadilla wood not composite Buffet Festival clarinet. Made in France during the heyday of manufacture by skilled French instrument makers. Serial number 378184. Made 1993. Silver plated keys. Metal tenon covers. Some of the finest workmanship you'll ever find in a clarinet.
    From the manufacturers description:
    Designed in 1987 in collaboration with three world-class clarinet players—Jacques Lancelot, Guy Deplus and Michael Arringnon—the Festival clarinet meets the requirements of today's musicians, soloists and teachers interpreting the widest possible repertoire of works, from Mozart to Boulez.
    The condition is impeccable and looks and plays like new. No cracks or repaired cracks. No damage or tool marks from previous repairs.
    There are no flaws except that the auxilliary left hand Eb/Ab was removed by the one owner who found it superfluous. This extra key is not only uneccessary but often gets in the way.
    We just overhauled this lovely instrument with all new Buffet style pads and quality cork pads where needed.
    The tone is sweet and colorful but has enough power to play in big orchestras as well as solo.
    It comes with a Chadash 660 barrel for tuning at A=440. We are including the original case in great condition, a swab, cloth and cork grease.
    A fantastic clarinet for a great price!
