Quick question..
I've got my eye on a Buffett E 11 made in Germany.
I spent about 15 minutes playing it and it sounds and plays very nice.
The problem, if it is a problem is a hairline crack that runs the length of the Bell. Many might not even see the hairline crack.
No other cracks in this Clarinet are evident.
I wonder if over a period of time playing this Clarinet, would the crack likely open up to the size of the Grand canyon, or might it just stay like the hairline crack it currently is?
The seller dropped the price $50 after the offending crack was brought to their attention.
At $550 its not a great deal, but also not a bad one for a nice sounding Instrument which otherwise is in very good shape.
So buy it and do nothing, buy it and have it pinned , or just walk away from this Instrument?
