On Sale Clarinets
On Sale clarinets are new instruments (which carry the Buffet warranty) and have either been used as a demo at a trade show or have slight physical imperfections. All instruments in this section are sold as-is and are a tremendous value.

We also recommend the RMS hand-selected and professionally adjusted Buffet E12F clarinet ($2,268) for those requiring an excellent instrument who but are on a budget. This semi-professional model is made of Grenadilla wood, has silver keys and white leather pads. You can read more about purchasing a new E12F here.
All of our Used instruments are upgraded with the RMS Artist Overhaul:
- Wood is fully cleaned and oiled.
- Keys and posts are cleaned and polished.
- Tenons are replaced (as needed).

- All bumpers are replaced with more durable and reliable materials for optimal mechanism performance.
- The mechanisms are adjusted for crisp and even key action (spring tension is balanced and keys/rings are checked for proper height.)
- Tone holes are resurfaced (as needed).
- Springs are replaced (as needed).
- Throat G♯ and side F side keys are modified where they reach the instrument’s body to achieve proper contact with the body.
- Tones holes are resurfaced (as needed) to guarantee an optimal seal.
- Final play testing of the clarinet and final adjustments are made.
