    Buffet Prodige Bb Clarinet
    • For the first time in this sector, the required operations for creating perfect acoustics, especially the moulding and drilling of the bore, are performed entirely in France and Germany to ensure a consistent result.

      Prodige’s new bore, inspired by the renowned E13 model, allows an unprecedented ease of play and projection of sound. The intervals between notes are pitch-perfect and balanced.

      Its bell has been entirely reworked in order to optimise projection with Buffet Crampon’s innovation, a textured bore.

      It is now possible for you, a young musician to learn to play on a professional-sounding clarinet at a reasonable price.

      The Buffet Prodige replaces the popular B12 model which has been discontinued.

    • Adjustable thumb rest: For a more natural and comfortable hand position.

    Buffet RC Prestige Greenline Eb Clarinet
    • The RC Greenline series of clarinets follows the same manufacturing process and design as the 100% grenadilla RCs. Thanks to the addition of carbon fibres, Green Line clarinets withstand admirably to variations in atmospheric conditions (temperature, humidity). The risk of cracking is therefore eliminated. Created in 1994, the Greenline series of instruments has taken advantage of the excess wood remaining from the clarinet manufacturing process. This process of combining grenadilla powder with carbon fibres produces a clarinet that is greatly resistant to environmental change and helps to relieve stress on the African grenadilla wood population.

      The mechanics are prepared and finished with great precision: milling holes inside the specifications according to the Buffet Crampon expertise. The mechanics are carefully assembled and adjusted by expert technicians.

      Due to its conical bore, the RC Prestige clarinet has a darker sound. In addition, the bore is hand-burnished, giving greater precision. This is important, as the bore is vital to good tuning. These models have reinforced tenons for added strength and upgraded Gore-Tex pads.

    Buffet RC Eb Clarinet
    • Of all the people who have made their mark in the history of Buffet Crampon, Robert Carrée is without doubt one of the most important. He dedicated his career to perfecting the musical instrument artistically as well as mechanically.
