Evette Master Model by Buffet: Wood Bb with All New Pads plus Vandoren M13 M/Pc

Description

This granadilla wood Master Model is a very nice example of a French-made Evette clarinet that would be considered an intermediate model or a step up from a plastic student model. These Evette models were made prior to Buffet bringing out the E11 model. However, because this is the Master Model, it is considered at least as good, if not better than the E11. By looking at it you can tell that it has been well taken care of. The key plating is very good, the body of the clarinet has very few minor scratches from normal use and no there are no cracks. This instrument was just serviced: taken apart and cleaned, all new Valentino pads were installed plus it was lubricated and the keys aligned when it was re-assembled. I've found that often it's the small adjustments that make a big difference in how enjoyable an instrument is to play. This one is completely ready for band practice!
I started playing clarinet 56 years ago and these days I restore clarinets exclusively. Over the years I've refurbished more than 1,200 of these Bb clarinets, many of which have been sold here on eBay. So you can check out the feedback from other happy customers and be confident that you're buying a quality instrument that plays great. I feel I've done my best to ensure that this one fits that description. After testing this clarinet, I've found that it does everything well- it plays easily from top to bottom and has that rich Buffet sound. The tone is enhance by the excellent Vandoren mouthpiece.
This clarinet comes with a Vandoren M13 mouthpiece that will really make this baby sing. Usually these Vandoren mouthpieces run about 0 new. Also comes with new cork grease and a new reed. The case is in good condition, showing typical wear. The serial number is D24707. Clarinet will be shipped quickly by Priority Mail or FedEx following payment.
