NEW Buffet-Crampon R-13 Mopane Series Professional Bb Clarinet

What do you think railway ties, agricultural tools and these new clarinet models have in common? Believe it or not, these three seemingly unrelated applications all benefit from the incredible resistance offered by Southern African mopane wood. Mopane has warm mid-brown to reddish-brown hues that harmonize wonderfully with the gleaming silver or nickel plated keys of Buffet Crampon's extraordinary musical instruments. In addition to these remarkable mechanical characteristics, the mopane wood enhances this limited series by offering a mellow and warm sound that combines softness and brilliance combined with a powerful and direct projection. The essence of this wood allows for the exploration of new sound colors with both pure pianissimo nuances and wide, open forte tones without any saturation.

 

Currently available with either silver plated keys. Please note, this clarinet is a special order only.
