Woodwinds

This is an Evette Master Model, Professional, Wooden Bb Clarinet made by Buffet Crampon. During the normal construction of the R-13 Pro model, some clarinets would be excellent instruments, but for whatever reason some may not quite meet aesthetic or tuning standards to be sold as an R-13. These instruments were labeled Evette Master Models, and are very nice instruments, far superior than the student or intermediate models sold under the Evette line, and are quite a deal for those that know about them. You can get a very high quality clarinet of comparable professional quality to the R13, but without the R13 Price. Buffet is known for making some of the best clarinets available, and this instrument is no exception. This instrument has been completely overhauled, which means it was completely disassembled and washed. All metal parts were buffed. We “bore oiled” the wood. “Bore oil” is the oil used to keep grenadilla wood supple and crack free. Next we changed all the key corks, tenon corks and all the pads. This instrument plays and looks like it was new. Here is what is included with the instrument: mouthpiece, a brand new case, a new #2 Rico reed and a new tube of cork grease. You must play this clarinet.

This is a super clean Yamaha Tenor. A quality instrument. It is one of the most recommended tenor saxes by music educators. Both the horn and the case are in very good condition. Of course, we disassembled the horn and cleaned it. After reassembling, it was completely regulated. I think the horn plays very well. Included with this horn: a neck strap, ligature, mouthpiece cap, a lyre, a brand new mouthpiece, 1 new reed and a new tube of cork grease. This is everything you need to start playing in any band. Plus, this sax is on sale. Previously priced at $1450.00, now take $200.00 off.

I enjoyed playing this sax today after repairing it. It had a very focused, rich sound. Similar to that of a more expensive, professional horn. The design of this instrument is based on Yamaha’s high-end saxophones. For example:
- silicon treated leather pads
- Yamaha model 62 saxophone-style neck (professional model horn)
- tilting-style low Bb spatula key
- left pinky keys have been redesigned for comfort & response
- adjustable right hand thumb rest
- engraved side key guard
- high F alternating fingering key with teardrop shape

You have got to try this horn!

Here is an outstanding student model tenor sax. Great starter horn for a beginning student. It feels good in your hands. Of course, being a Yamaha, it sounds great and plays well in tune with itself. All the pads look like new. Brand new, these horns list for $2100.00 to $2300.00. You can probably find one for $1800.00, new. However, to find a used tenor that looks as good as a new horn for $1295.00……. this is a tremendous deal. Come try out this horn. It plays great.

Gordet, pronounced GORE-DAY. It’s a French thing. A very nicely maintained horn. It was made in the late 60′s. The well seasoned grenadilla wood is without cracks. I completely overhauled the oboe. First, I treated the wood with bore oil. That keeps the wood supple and insures a crack free life.  Second, we buffed all the silver plated keys and posts. Third, I replaced all the pads with cork pads. Cork pads are more durable and more expensive than felt pads. Consequently, you will get many years of play time from this horn without need of repair. This oboe has a full Conservatory fingering system which includes left hand C – D trills, an F resonance mechanism, articulated low B-C#, “split ring” D, Ab – Bb right hand trills and more. The original carrying case is included. It is in great condition. Come play this instrument. You will be impressed.

I found a tremendous intermediate model clarinet that sounds great. The whole horn is made of well seasoned grenadilla wood with nickel plated keys. Also included is an adjustable thumb rest and a French case with case cover. Those are features that are normally seen on “step-up model” horns, which this is. Of course, we do our customary cleaning, regulating and oiling of the grenadilla wood. A Jupiter mouthpiece is included. Frankly, the clarinet looks unused. Come take a look. It is on sale for the month of December. Was priced at $699.00. Now it is $529.00.

The perfect clarinet for the beginning band student. Well made and sounds great! Plus the layout of the keys is specifically designed for young/new players. Even though this clarinet looked brand new when we received it, we still disassembled and cleaned it. Then it was regulated to make it play like a new horn. We cleaned/sterilized the mouthpiece. I also include a new tube of cork grease and a new #2 reed to get you started. This is everything a student needs to get started in band.

Perfect for this time of the year. A Selmer Clarinet. It is a plastic instrument, which is what you want for the beginning student. As of today, 6/9/11, it was Completely Repadded, meaning, 1) disassembled and cleaned, 2) all metal parts were buffed, 3) completely adjusted & regulated. I’ve also included a mouthpiece, ligature & mouthpiece cap, a new tube of cork grease and a new reed to get you started.

The Buffet-B-12 is with out a doubt one of the best ABS resin student clarinets on the market.  Known for their accurate intonation, pleasing tone quality and durable construction, the B-12 has led the field for years. The B-12 is crafted with the same details as the professional models- Undercut Tone Holes, Power-Forged Nickel Plated Keys. I always strive to find instruments that look as good as new. This clarinet certainly does. It comes in the Buffet manufactures box and with all the original literature. This clarinet will work well for a student from middle school through high school.

The French key mechanism (open hole keys),  B footjoint, gold plated lip plate, silver headjoint and body of the “3B Ltd” offer  specifications and features many teachers recommend as the ideal step-up flute for  advancing musicians. The B footjoint provides a longer tube allowing a  greater resonance in the flute, as well as providing flutists  opportunities to utilize alternate fingerings for greater facility in  the upper register. For the first time player of an open hole flute I have included a set of key plugs. Here is another instrument that is on sale for Christmas. The price was $795.00. Now it is priced at $695.00.
