Buffet Crampon R13 Professional Eb Clarinet With Silver Keys

The Buffet R13 clarinet has a 40-year history of quality and craftsmanship. From wind ensembles to great symphony orchestras, it is the benchmark in clarinet manufacturing. Crafted in high-quality grenadilla wood to ensure evenness of tone and response, the R13's 3-step polycyndrical bore is noted for its dark, full sound. It has a key of Eb, undercut toneholes, silver-plated keys, adjustable thumb rest, 41.5 mm barrel and a deluxe Naugahyde-covered wood shell case with plush interior.

Most clarinetists purchasing an instrument with this level of distinction have particular preferences in terms of mouthpieces, so this Eb 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 dtach in the upper register.
