Description

Welcome to Ashantee Music! Matching Exceptional Students With Quality Instruments One of several intermediate and professional clarinets we are offering for sale. This is a Buffet Crampon E12F intermediate wood clarinet. Based off the ever-popular E11, it was redesigned to improve response and intonation, though the E11 was a doggone exceptional instrument to begin with. It is in excellent condition: wood body has no chips, cracks or repairs, silver plated keys about 99.9% with little if any wear at all. Long-lasting white kid leather pads in excellent condition, tenon corks good with no wobble between joints. Unlike most of the used clarinets you may be looking at, this has just been through the shop in October 2024 where it was bore oiled, adjusted and brought into perfect playing condition. Cork grease and key oil are for local pickup only and will not be shipped, but it does include a new SuperSlick chamois swab, a Buffet ligature with the floating reed plate, adjustable thumb rest, and an excellent Vandoren B45 dot mouthpiece—a $120 mouthpiece with a very large chamber and a very full sound. All in a brand-new Reunion Blues RBX case with a patch on the front where I flipped the danged thing open on my alcohol lamp while overhauling a clarinet. (Ugh!) Case includes zippered external pocket and backpack straps. For that matter, we have lots of cases available separately as well. Sells new for $2,580, so save more than $1,400, and get a pro mouthpiece with one of the best intermediate clarinets in the best condition you could ask for!

If you have any questions or concerns about a listing, please ask questions prior to bidding. Photographs are considered a binding part of an item description. Shipping: Items are shipped after receipt and clearance of your payment. We try to ship far ahead of the handling time listed in the auction. Note that with international shipping, not all countries provide door-to-door tracking; therefore, buyer assumes full liability for item after leaving the United States. Returns: We have zero unhappy customers, and we have offered hassle-free returns for almost twenty years. Unfortunately, due to rampant abuse of eBay's automated returns, and since PayPal no longer refunds sales fees, we have had to revise our return policy. (1) If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us PRIOR to initiating a return via eBay and allow us to address your concerns. Many items such as clarinets and oboes come out of adjustment during the shipping process, and can be easily tweaked by your local technician. We are happy to talk you through this process. (2) Items may be returned for any reason at your expense within seven days of receipt for a full refund of the purchase price less shipping and eBay fees, which are not refundable. If on receipt we are able to verify the item to be significantly different than described, we will additionally refund original shipping, PayPal fees, and your return shipping to maximum of $30.00. Non-paying Bidders: We reserve the right to relist or otherwise dispose of any item if payment is not received with three days of the auction close.
