It's the herd mentality: If you play a clarinet, it must be an R13. Third, he should probably try some other horns beside the Buffet. The crack is maybe 2" long and it's near the middle of the bell. Second, I have an SML clarinet that has a small crack in the bell. Cool!īefore starting, please note that the R13 is no longer Buffet's top-of-the line and hasn't been for awhile.įirst, probably the best thing you could do for us to help you is to list how much you'd like to spend. You are now my favorite newbie: you used the search function, you're polite, and you even used tags. If there's another thread I should be reading, please point me in the right direction and I'll head that way. I apologize if this is answered elsewhere. I want to surprise him a solid instrument that will take him into college and beyond, so any words of wisdom you can share would be appreciated. I've also read about fakes that are out in the market as well. I don't know if that's something to be concerned about or to what extent. I read where one was listed as excellent but noted a crack in the bell. I've been to and saw some there, but there's just so much variety and, alas, I'm a noob when it comes to what's good and what's not. I do not want to purchase a new one from Music & Arts because, frankly, we're not made of that kind of money. So, I'm keeping a promise I made to him to find him one. We once visited our local Music & Arts shop and he had the opportunity to play a new R13 and fell in love with it. He's now in high school and we're looking to upgrade his current Buffet. He started in 5th grade and has excelled with the instrument ever since. My son is an aspiring clarinetist and I'm wanting to help him as much as I can. I'm new to the forum and so grateful to have this resource.
