Description

Welcome to Ashantee Music!
Matching Exceptional Students With Quality Instruments
We are pleased to offer for sale this sought-after Buffet Crampon R13 "Vintage" model Bb clarinet.  It is in exceptional condition:  no cracks, chips, or repairs, just overhauled in Ferree B17 and Allied pads.  Plays very well across all registers.  Silver plate about 99.9% with sparse scratches but no noticeable wear at all.  Comes in the nice, leather, deluxe attache case.  Both 660 barrels--the V1 and V2--are included.  S/n 459XXX is too new for the published lists, but should be roughly 1996-2000.  An excellent clarinet for those who prefer the feel and sound of early R13's but in a very new clarinet.  No longer available, but WWBW has returned one for ,450.  So . . . snatch this one up, and save ,800!

Purchases:
We strive to be accurate and detailed in our descriptions.  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 .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.
