The Buffet C12 (C for Conservatoire) is not commonly seen in the UK as it was primarily a model made for the European market. Designed as Buffet’s beginner professional model like the R13 is today.
This pair would be ideal for any advancing player going through their grades or just wanting to progress onto a good quality wooden clarinet but and potentially starting to venture into orchestral playing whilst not wanting to break the bank. The equivalent cost of a pair of R13’s would set you back £6,418 so this would be saving you a massive £4,173! Both instruments are in good condition and the wood has been well cared for and maintained. It has the typical ease of play associated with Buffet clarinets and makes a nice lively tone. Come and try in-store and compare the models for yourself!
These have undertaken a full overhaul / re-pad with brown leather pads. Supplied with the clarinets is the original double-case but does not include a mouthpiece.
