Grenadilla Wood Construction Promotes a Superior Sound

Buffet Crampon selects only the finest grenadilla wood to construct the R13 clarinet. The wood is seasoned to enhance its acoustic properties and prevent cracking, then polished to allow the natural beauty of the grain to shine through. This premium wood, combined with a poly cylindrical bore and undercut tone holes, gives the R13 clarinet a rich, resonant, centered tone.

Sterling Silver Keywork Responds Intuitively to Your Touch

The R13 clarinet features 18 keys made of sterling silver, a material chosen for its ability to produce a clear, ringing tone. Forged and shaped by hand, the keys have a fluid mechanism and slick feel under the fingers to enable crisp, accurate playing. Blue steel springs and air-tight bladder pads further enhance the responsiveness and tonal clarity of the keywork. An adjustable thumb rest provides customized comfort and support for any hand size.
