Buffet Crampon RC 17/6 clarinet with a professional foundation
The Buffet Crampon RC 17/6 builds on the work of Robert Carrée, a name closely linked to the development of the poly-cylindrical bore in clarinet design. The RC model has long been regarded as a reference and received a 2014 update based on ten years of acoustic research and development.
In practice, you notice this in a warm, centered tone, clear projection, and a response that feels more even throughout the instrument. The intonation was also reassessed and improved, so this clarinet meets the increasing demands of musicians aiming for a professional level.
Construction and playing feel of this wooden clarinet
The Buffet Crampon RC 17/6 is made of wood, which suits the character of this model. The combination of the updated acoustic design and the established RC foundation makes this a clarinet for players who value control, balance, and reliability in tone production.
