Models and Pricing
(New Buffet Clarinets)
Please see current inventory for pricing on pre-owned clarinets
At, Clarinet Monster Inc, we sell our clarinets at the lowest price allowed by Buffet Crampon USA, also known as the Minimum Sales Price. In order to meet our high standard we prefer to upgrade the pads on all R13's. This service adds $200 to all R13's. At bulk music stores you will find an R13 for slightly less but it won't have the Clarinet Monster Artist Set-Up! Models above the R13 have premium pads installed at the factory so no extra pad upgrade is neccesary. Georgia residents add 8.5% sales tax. Free shipping on all on-line purchases.
