Overview

An artisan-level instrument, truly a masterwork.

Buffet Crampon Prestige R13 A Clarinet have unstained M'pingo wood that is carefully chosen for its acoustic and aesthetic quality, combined with masterful keywork putting the Prestige R13 at the top of the Buffet Amercian bore clarinets.The undercutting of each tone hole is carried out according to BUFFET CRAMPON's top of the range stringent standards. The upper and lower joint tenons come with metal rings which reduce the risk of cracks. This model have Gore-Tex pads, an adjustable thumb rest and an Eb / Ab lever as standard. The 13 Prestige has a powerful sound and a focused and flexible tone in all registers.

Most clarinetists purchasing an instrument with this level of distinction have particular preferences in terms of mouthpieces, so the Tosca Bb Clarinet is priced and shipped without one. A fine quality French-made HB ligature is included. The HB is a silver-plated metal ligature that is very easy-blowing and provides a round, centered and brilliant sound as well as a superior detaché in the upper register. NOTE: Buffet does not include a mouthpiece with this instrument.

  • NOTE: Buffet does not include a mouthpiece with this instrument
