Why Buy

 
 
The virtuoso expects more from a clarinet than just mechanical perfection, and the Buffet Prestige R13 Bb Clarinet offers the artist a wide color palette and incredible response at any dynamic level. Each hand-crafted Prestige Buffet R13 professional Bb clarinet is made from only the best quality M'Pingo wood. M'Pingo wood offers greater focus and ring in the sound. The clarinetist will also enjoy the highly fluid and richly silver-plated keywork complete with left-hand Eb/Ab lever. Complete with leather-covered wood case and all-genuine Buffet care products.

Buffet Crampon Prestige R13 Professional Bb Clarinet
The wood of the Prestige R13 is carefully chosen for its acoustic and aesthetic qualities and therefore remains unstained. The undercutting of each tone hole is carried out according to Buffet Crampon's top-of-the-range stringent standards. The upper and lower joint tenons come with metal rings which reduce the risk of cracks. The keywork is carefully tried, tested, and adjusted by expert craftsmen to work perfectly. The models have Gore-Tex pads, an adjustable thumb rest, and an Eb / Ab lever as standard. The 13 Prestige has a powerful sound and a focused and flexible tone in all registers.

"The Best..."

My parents bought me my prestige as a high school graduation gift. I am currently a music major in a Texas university and I cannot explain how wonderful this clarinet is. The sound and appearance of this horn is out of this world...it gives you such a warm and beautiful sound. I highly recommend this clarinet to serious clarinetists. You will not be disappointed.

"The best clarinet I have ever played"

I probably have quite a bit less experience than quite a lot of clarinetists, but having played it for 7 years I have never played a clarinet quite so smooth over the registers, especially when going over the break. I tried it out against the E11 and although the E11 was smooth, the smoothness of the R13 shined through.I am now the proud owner of an R13 and wouldn't swap it for any other clarinet!

I recently purchased the Buffet R13 Prestige and I couldn't be happier with it. The tone is so fluid and warm, and it jumps easily across the registers. I used to play on a Selmer intermediate model, and this clarinet has really made the difference in my playing. I would most definitely recommend this clarinet to anyone who is willing to spend the money on it. It is definitely worth it.

I think that this R13 clarinet is the best wood clarinet I've ever played. It produces the best sound. It makes you more in tune,and it makes you sound better. R13's rock.
