Buffet Crampon RC Prestige Clarinet (C)
The Buffet Crampon RC Prestige Clarinet in C (BC1607-2-0) is a professional model crafted from premium grenadilla wood. It delivers precise intonation, a focused tone, and excellent projection, making it ideal for orchestral, solo, and chamber music performance.
The Buffet Crampon RC Prestige Clarinet in C (BC1607-2-0) is a professional-grade instrument built for serious performers seeking tonal clarity, expressive control, and mechanical reliability. Crafted from high-quality grenadilla wood, the RC Prestige offers a refined, centred tone with excellent projection, stability, and a smooth, even response throughout the full range of the instrument.
Its hand-burnished bore improves intonation and enhances tonal focus, while the egg-shaped inner bell design increases sound emission for greater presence in both solo and ensemble settings. The conical lower joint and bell contribute to a softer tone colour and easier airflow, giving the player more control with less resistance.
Keywork is power-forged, preplated in copper, and finished in silver plate for durability and smooth action. An adjustable silver-plated thumb rest allows for optimised hand positioning and comfort, especially during extended playing sessions. Undercut tone holes further enhance clarity and ease of response, supporting nuanced articulation and tonal precision.
With its combination of acoustic refinement and mechanical excellence, the RC Prestige C Clarinet delivers consistent professional performance for advanced players in orchestral, chamber, and solo environments.
