 Buffet "Jazz Festival" Clarinet
Author: Fred

Is anyone familiar with Buffet's "Jazz Festival" model? (Serial # 303XXX) is for sale on ebay at:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1420851554

They list it as an R-13, but with that name I wouldn't be sure. My 1974 Super Dynaction plays great, but it's not designed like an R-13. I wonder if this horn is the same way.

I've never heard of that kind before. It looks to be a plastic barrel and bell in the case rather than original ones.

This clarinet reminds of the one Thomas Friedli plays (Thomas Friedli is the clarinet professor at Geneva conservatoire.. students : Alessandro Carbonare, Fabio di Casola)... Last time I had a lesson with him I noticed the way "Festival" was written on the clarinet. It was written exactly the same way as on the clarinet on ebay. I'm pretty sure Friedli plays an old buffet Festival... I'm pretty sure this is the same clarinet as the one he plays.
Excellent instrument ! (Barrel and bell are probably not original buffet)

Never heard of one of those before, but it does say "jazz festival" on it. The barrel looks like the stuff the Deg Accubore barrels are made from--also the bell. The woodwind and brasswind sells a Deg bell like that. Supposed to improve tone. I've never tried one--but perhaps I'll order one and see what it does.
