Clarinet Buffet Crampon Festival B♭ Selected

Clarinet Buffet Crampon Festival, B-flat, Serial Number 52xxxx, Selected by Professor Tadayoshi Takeda
Case signed by Professor Michel Arrignon

This is a popular model from Crampon, currently retailing for ¥1,000,000 or more. Prices are expected to increase again in April.

The previous owner purchased it new in 2005 and used it while attending music college. It comes with a selection certificate from Professor Tadayoshi Takeda. It's an instrument that allows for smooth airflow and produces a rich sound.

I play clarinet in a community wind ensemble. I acquired this instrument here three years ago and have cherished it. I am selling it because I have purchased a new instrument, and I hope it will be used with care by its next owner.

The instrument has been serviced by a trusted repair technician every three months. It was also serviced in the middle of this month. All pads are long-lasting leather and do not require replacement.
There are no cracks in the body or signs of crack repair.
The plating on the right-hand F ring key was corroded and peeling, so it has been replated and is now in beautiful condition. (See image 2)
There is plating peeling on the post of the E-flat key on the upper joint. (See image 3)

Considering its age, I believe it is in good condition, but perceptions may vary. Please check the photos and description. All sales are final. No returns or complaints will be accepted, so please understand this before purchasing.
