***************

This instrument was purchased from a reputable music store.

It was used approximately 3 times a week for about 1 hour per day, from March to April 2025 (approximately 2 months).

I have taken great care of it, but I am now selling it due to purchasing a replacement. I am honestly reluctant to part with it as I have grown fond of its excellent playing feel.
I would be delighted if it could be passed on to someone who will cherish it.

Please feel free to ask any questions, no matter how small. Thank you for your consideration. ^_^

【Product Description】
With its mellow, deep tone and perfect balance, the RC model was quickly hailed as the clarinet's clarinet upon its release. The name RC was chosen to commemorate the achievements of its designer, Robert Carrée.

This model is as popular as the Buffet Crampon R13, offering a uniform tone and playing feel across all registers, excellent balance, good intonation, and a natural playing feel that is easy for beginners and those with less breath speed to play.

It is also highly regarded for its excellent intonation, and its mellow tone blends well with other instruments, making it recommended for orchestras and ensembles.
