However if the item is purchased online, the procedure is covered by our distant selling rules which can be found on the delivery/returns page.

This Buffet 1180 Bb bass clarinet to low Eb is ideal for the advancing player looking for a reliable wooden doubling instrument that can be used in concert bands, quartets and orchestras.  Manufacturers description:  The Buffet Crampon 1180 student bass clarinet was entirely redesigned to offer young students and amateur players an instrument providing thrilling sensations in the lowest notes which are the foundations of harmony.

Its wide, homogeneous sound palette and extremely fluid legato allow the musician to experiment with every acoustic or technical idea imaginable.

It sets itself as the global standard for student bass clarinets.
