Buffet R13 A clarinet customised by Rene Hagmann £2400 ono

Just in from one of our international customers in Switzerland and Principal Clarinet of the Zürich Tonhalle Orchestra Michael Reid. Mike has had custom work by Rene Hagmann, including vented low F and additional ring for the corrected C#/G# key, this clarinet has had very little use and is below the cost of a new instrument without the additional work.

Previously owned by a top London professional this instrument is in excellent condition and has been given the ARCS upgrade with MK5 pads. With two barrels and a double case and case cover this will be an excellent choice for anyone needing a great quality A at a reasonable price

K HAMMERSCHMIDT KLINGSON B-flat £450

 
Karl Hammerschmidt was one of the iconic clarinet makers of the 20th century.  This is a handmade instrument which may date from the 1960’s.  If you like the idea of a clarinet which plays with something approaching the “authentic Viennese sound” but is a Boehm system instrument then, perhaps this is the clarinet for you.  The instrument has been worked on extensively by Andrew and is in excellent playing condition for an instrument of this age.
