Buffet Crampon clarinet with an established name
The Buffet Crampon E-13 GB 18/6 is a wooden clarinet that has held its place for decades. The E13 name has remained unchanged for forty years and traces its origins to the BC20, the clarinet played by Jacques Lancelot.
This Buffet Crampon clarinet is described as an instrument that has accompanied amateur and advanced musicians toward conservatories, music schools and wind orchestras. If you are looking for a clarinet for study and serious musical development, the E-13 fits that role well.
Construction and finish of the E-13 GB 18/6
For this clarinet, Buffet Crampon uses selected pieces of Greek wood from Mozambique. Its finish reflects the brand’s professional line, with silver keywork and plating, blue steel springs, screwed-in pillars, threaded screws and joints lined with natural cork.
Since January 2015, the E13 has been fitted with leather pads. The bell is inherited from the RC, the Robert Carrée sister clarinet, which according to the product information gives more projection and clarity across the full range and in every note. At Magna Music, you can also try a clarinet like this in store with advice from wind specialists.
