Buffet Crampon Bb Clarinet - Tradition
The Buffet Crampon Tradition Clarinet in Bb (b-flat) is a relatively new addition to the well-known professional clarinet collection by Buffet Crampon. In collaboration with musicians (soloists and orchestral players) they came together to share their overall experiences of the clarinet. From this a new design for a new model clarinet was created, they called it: Tradition. It is partly inspired by the early Buffet Crampon model BC20.
For the Tradition, Buffet Crampon has returned to a cylindrical bore, which has the same diameter throughout the clarinet. This is in contrast to the poly-cylindrical bore of the RC and R13 family, which has become the standard with Buffet since the 1950's. The traditional bore has been combined with modern developments and technology as we find on today’s professional clarinets, but the objective of the Buffet Tradition was to offer a clarinet in its most natural form, with no unnecessary changes or overstated technology.
The Buffet Crampon Tradition comes with specifications that you can expect from a modern professional clarinet, such as a beautifully finished Grenadille body in natural color, power-forged and silver-plated 18/6 key mechanism with E-lever and pads made of Goretex, leather and Cork. The Tradition has a truly distinctive character and is frequently chosen over the RC and R13 clarinets by experienced players. The instrument has a rich, sweet, warmed sound, allows to play with less force and has consistent intonation in all registers. The Buffet Tradition comes with two barrels, to allow easy switching between 440Hz and 442Hz.
! Please note that Buffet has discontinued supplying a mouthpiece with their Pro Clarinets. Feel free to look on our website for our selection of Clarinet Mouthpieces.
