Subj: Pair of Buffets for sale
Date: Wed, 9 Aug 1995 22:17:58 -0400

Since there seems to be a spurt of postings about available instruments,
I'll add mine to the list.

I'm acting as caretaker for a (flutist) friend who wants to sell a pair of
Buffet R13s. He bought them about four years ago from a university
clarinet major who changed his mind about a music career and decided to
get rid of his instruments. At the time, my friend's daughter was a
beginning clarinetist (using a student model instrument), and, since the
Buffets were available, he bought them to put aside for her future use.
Well, you guessed it; after a couple of years, she decided she didn't want
to play clarinet. He asked me to help him sell them.

Serial numbers:
184908 B-flat
212021 A

Until I took them out of the case to play them a few weeks ago, they
hadn't been used for the four years that my friend owned them. He's
asking $1,200.00 for each, sold as a pair (multiply by 2), but the price
is negotiable.

If anyone is interested, please don't bother the entire list. E-mail
directly.
