Buffet E13 Bb Clarinet

Description:

One of Buffet's most iconic instruments, the E13 is a legendary clarinet that has remained unchanged in 40 years.

With its origins in the BC20 – the clarinet played by Jacques Lancelot – the E13 has accompanied amateurs and advanced musicians to conservatories, music schools and wind orchestras the world over.

Made from top-of-the-range African Grenadilla Blackwood (Dalbergia Melanoxylon) from Mozambique and assembled in the brand’s own workshops, this clarinet has all the technical characteristics of the professional line: silver keywork and plating, blue steel springs, screwed-in pillars, threaded screws and natural cork lining the joints, and a steel ringed bottom tenon.

Equipped with leather pads since January 2015, the E13 has now inherited the completely new bell of sister clarinet, the RC (cf. Robert Carrée), which gives more projection and brightness no matter what the range or tone.

The low F key adjustment screw allows a finer control of the resulting action implemented by its lever.

Supplied with a gigbag, mouthpiece, reed, ligature, mouthpiece cap, swab, cork grease, and pencil.
