Buffet Crampon E13 A Clarinet

RM 7,000

About this instrument

The Buffet Crampon E13 is one of the most respected intermediate clarinets in the world, and finding one in A is not always easy. If you play in an orchestra or chamber ensemble, you know an A clarinet is not optional. This E13 delivers the warm, dark Buffet Crampon sound that players love, at a level of quality that will serve you well from conservatory through professional engagements.

Condition is 9 out of 10, and "like new" is not an exaggeration here. The previous owner was meticulous, the instrument has been recently serviced, and it has seen virtually no use. All pads have been replaced, so tone and response are as good as they get. The grenadilla wood is in excellent shape with no cracks or issues.

At RM7,000, this is a genuine opportunity. A new Buffet Crampon A clarinet at this level costs significantly more, and this one has fresh pads and a recent service, meaning it is ready to play from day one. Ideal for orchestral or chamber work where the A clarinet's darker, slightly warmer character is exactly what the music calls for.

Our comment

From a close friend of ours, very careful and particular owner. This E13 has been regularly checked and just serviced, so it plays clean and feels tight, with condition that look close to new. You're getting that familiar Buffet feel without the brand new price tag. If you've been wanting an A clarinet to round out your setup for orchestra or chamber gigs, this is a smart, worry-free pick.
