This instrument is not currently playable: it needs a full repad, the neck is missing, and there are pinned cracks in the upper joint. It may be appropriate for a technician, repair program, or experienced player seeking a restoration candidate, but it should not be purchased as a functioning performance instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuffet Crampon BC1180 Bass Clarinet Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrument: Bass Clarinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Buffet Crampon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: BC1180\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey: Bb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRange: Low Eb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Black body with silver-color keywork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Included \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessories: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial number: H39384\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Setup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Buffet Crampon BC1180 Bass Clarinet is being sold as-is as a project instrument. It has not been professionally serviced, set up, or play-tested for performance use. The instrument needs a complete repad, has no neck, and has pinned cracks in the upper joint.

Because it is missing the neck, needs a repad, and has repaired cracks in the upper joint, it is best suited to a woodwind technician, repair shop, school repair program, or player sourcing a project horn rather than a musician needing an instrument for immediate rehearsal or performance use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Questions About the Buffet Crampon BC1180\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this Buffet Crampon BC1180 Bass Clarinet playable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This instrument is not playable in its current condition.
