Hand-Selected Buffet Clarinets

Professional Clarinet Setup

With our setup, your clarinet will be its very best from the start! Clarinets from any factory (even the very best Buffet Clarinets) are not perfect in terms of keywork, pads, spring tension, etc. What sets us apart is that every single clarinet receives a full professional-quality setup to make the mechanical feel and function as good as the sound. We spend a great deal of time addressing every issue that can keep your clarinet from playing its absolute best.

Every clarinet is checked to make sure the following things are perfect:

• Pressure/Suction: No leaking pads
• Key Movement: No binding or drag
• Spring Tension: Proper tension and balance
• Ring Heights: Checked for proper evenness and height
• Pad Height Opening: Checked for proper venting (no stuffiness)
• Key Spatula Locations: Key positions checked for ergonomics

New Buffet Tradition II Clarinets

2019 sees the TRADITION clarinet donning a new dress, worthy of the resounding success generated by her big sister, LEGENDE, after her public debut in 2017. “Sound at its purest level” has become the motto of this new family of cylindrical bores, descended from the BC20, a clarinet iconic of the brand. The woody, well-centred tone conquered the world, inspiring us to innovate, transform and reinvent ourselves.

New Buffet Legende Clarinets

This new clarinet is also the result of these developments in methodology and touts the same virtues as its high-end counterparts, including:

• Metal-capped tenons, for an enduring union between upper and lower joints
• GreenLinE tone hole slots, ensuring an air-tight closure and flawless sound while eliminating the risk of cracking
• A low F correction key to enhance the sound in this characteristic scale
• Ergonomic rings for a more comfortable and intuitive feel (Légende exclusively)
• Natural wood, specially selected and honed for a perfect resonance

New Buffet Tosca Clarinets

The Tosca bass clarinet, conceived for the symphonic orchestras, broadens the spectrum of sound already appreciated in the existing B-flat and A models launched in 2004 the E-flat model in 2010. It’s well-focused sound and luminous tone, assisted by a unique new register key system, allows the most demanding musician the ability to play the instrument’s entire repertoire with an exceptional freedom and confidence.
