MATCHED SET OF BUFFET CRAMPON CLARINETS
THE B NATURAL CLARINET IS SOLD. THE C, Bb, AND A ARE STILL FOR SALE IN ORIGINAL TRIPLE CASE WITH ORIGINAL M'PIECE.
An extremely rare & fine matched set of early Buffet clarinets. These instruments date from 1892-1908, and were the former property of a professional player who bought them new in the earliest years of the last century. They are in the keys of C, Bb, and A. All are stamped LP on either the main body and also additionally sometimes the barrel and bell. In addition the importers stamp " Carl Fischer" is also present on 3 of the bells, the Bb excepted. There is also the original Carl Fischer mouthpiece, which plays all instruments at A=440 Hz.
C Clarinet S/N 1G942 which dates to 1892, with no cracks or damage, minor surface marks to the wood. LP is stamped on all pieces. Just fully overhauled in our workshop in Pisoni Premium Deluxe Tan Leather, A superb quality C with excellent intonation.
Bb Clarinet S/N 677A1 which dates to 1908. Just overhauled in Pisoni Premium Deluxe Tan Leather. Two cracks to the upper joint, one into the third trill key hole, which we have relined. the other at 18o degrees runs for 12cm down the opposite side of the upper joint. There is an old banded repair to these cracks. The barrel also has a full length crack, which we have filled and sealed. Because of the strong springs in the triple case which hold the barrels both Bb and A barrels show much surface scratching. In addition there are 2 cracks to the bell, which may not be original. All cracks have been checked, and if necessary resealed.
A Clarinet S/N 736V which dates to 1905. An excellent instrument with only 2 cracks and a chip to the bell. Again this has just been fully overhauled in Pisoni Premium Deluxe Tan Leather.
There are 2 original cases, a triple for the C. Bb, & A. And a single for the B natural. An exceptional & unique opportunity for the serious period instrument player or collector. The entire set comes with a 1 year Clarinets Direct warranty.
