Item Description
Serial: 1094563
Listed 3 months ago
This Buffet B10 Bb clarinet is a solid student-level instrument designed for beginning to early-intermediate players. The B10 features a durable ABS plastic body and straightforward, reliable keywork, making it well suited for school band use and daily playing.
This example was made in Germany, as indicated by the marking on the bottom joint, and was manufactured by Schreiber, who produced Buffet Crampon’s B and E series clarinets during this period. Schreiber-made Buffet student instruments are known for consistent build quality and dependable playability.
When sold new, this model carried an approximate MSRP of $965, reflecting its German manufacture and positioning within Buffet Crampon’s student lineup at the time.
This clarinet has been fully inspected and play-tested and is ready to play.
Please refer to the photos for overall condition and details.

Condition & Service Work
Overall good condition for a student instrument
No cracks (plastic body)
Normal cosmetic wear consistent with school use

Thumb Rest Note
The original adjustable thumb rest was broken. A replacement thumb rest has been installed and functions properly, but is missing one screw. The original broken thumb rest is included; it only requires the strap hook screw to be replaced, which holds the assembly together.
Most repair shops will have the necessary screw in stock, either for the original thumb rest or the replacement. This does not affect playability, and the thumb rest functions normally. A thumb rest cushion is included.

The Buffet B10 offers easy response, stable intonation, and a focused, straightforward tone, making it an excellent choice for beginning players and school band programs.
