Description: Entry-level professional clarinet. This is a very fine, entry level professional, Bb clarinet. The grenadilla wood body is very tight grained and is in very good condition. The silver plated keys and posts polished up to a very nice brightness. The clarinet looks and plays beautifully. This clarinet was completely disassembled, thoroughly cleaned, re-corked, new pads, re-oiled and carefully reassembled. All of the silver plated keys and posts were buffed to a high shine. I have included La Tomba cork grease, a new sealed #3 Vandoren reed, a Buffet Crampon logo mouthpiece, a silver plated ligature and a metal mouthpiece cover. I believe the box is the original one that came with the clarinet.
