The Legendary choice by Buffet Crampon has expanded on their R13 line of clarinets! 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 plated keys of these 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.

The Buffet R13, legendary choice of professionals, was created in 1955 by Robert Carree and is the most popular clarinet in the world. The R13 was the first clarinet to feature Buffet's iconic poly-cylindrical bore design, giving it a beautiful, brilliant and focused tone, and allowing for evenness, flexibility, clear response, and excellent intonation across all its registers. Buffet's R13 is the industry standard and a living classic, lending itself to all types of repertoires and ensembles.

-R13 poly-cylindrical bore design
