This vintage R13, serial number 633921, dates to approximately 2011 based on Buffet Crampon serial-number chronology. It offers the established R13 design with a focused, flexible tone, even response, and the projection expected from Buffet Crampon professional clarinets. Compared with buying a new R13, a properly maintained vintage example can offer strong value, and mature grenadilla wood that has remained crack-free is generally less uncertain than newly seasoned wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuffet Crampon R13 Professional Bb Clarinet Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstrument: Professional Bb clarinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey: Bb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody material: Grenadilla wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeywork: Boehm system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey finish: Silver-plated keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBore design: R13 professional poly-cylindrical bore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePitch standard: A=440\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrel: 61mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Non-original double case \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessories: None included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial number: 633921\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Setup\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a pre-owned Buffet Crampon R13 Professional Bb Clarinet in excellent playing condition.
