Buffet E11 Eb Clarinet – NEW w/ Silver Keys

Buffet Crampon E11 E♭ Clarinet

The Buffet Crampon E11 E♭ Clarinet offers an accessible introduction to the distinctive voice of the E♭ clarinet while maintaining the traditional wooden construction and craftsmanship associated with Buffet Crampon.

Designed with the advancing musician in mind, the E11 emphasizes ease of response, reliability, and a comfortable playing experience. Its approachable design makes it an excellent choice for students beginning serious E♭ clarinet study, schools and universities adding an E♭ to their instrument inventory, or experienced clarinetists looking for a dependable secondary instrument.

Unlike many instruments at this level, the E11 E♭ is crafted from African grenadilla wood, providing the warmth, resonance, and tonal character players expect from a traditional wooden clarinet. Its acoustic design offers the clarity and projection necessary for the E♭ clarinet while remaining responsive and manageable for the developing player.

The E11 E♭ features 17 silver-plated keys and 6 rings, bladder pads, precision steel springs, reinforced tenons, and an adjustable thumb rest. It is designed at 442 Hz and is supplied with a 42.2mm barrel.

The result is an E♭ clarinet that provides a compelling balance of quality, playability, durability, and value. It gives advancing musicians an opportunity to develop their E♭ playing on a genuine wooden Buffet Crampon instrument without immediately making the investment required for one of Buffet’s professional E♭ models.

For the advancing student, educator, school music program, doubler, or clarinetist who only occasionally needs an E♭, the Buffet Crampon E11 E♭ is a practical and capable choice.

The Copeland Difference

The E♭ clarinet can be particularly sensitive to setup, and proper pad seating and regulation can make a significant difference in how easily the instrument responds.

Every Buffet Crampon E11 E♭ Clarinet purchased from Copeland Clarinets is carefully evaluated and professionally set up in our shop before delivery. Pad seating, regulation, spring tension, response, intonation, and overall playability are addressed so the instrument arrives ready to play.

Whether it is a student’s first E♭ clarinet or an experienced player’s secondary instrument, our goal is to make sure the instrument performs at its very best from the first note.
