Buffet Evette & Schaeffer Bb clarinet






This one was quite a score! I found this at one of my favorite pawn shops for a measly $35.  Apparently they didn't make much of it!  Little did they know that these K series serial number Evette & Schaeffer clarinets were made by Buffet in their factory and are really very, very nice!
The clarinet needed a repad, the pads were way shot.  I used my standard Italian leather pads and the work was a breeze, the instrument had little wear, the tone holes were all sharp,  and when it was all said and done I ended up with a fantastic sounding French clarinet!
