Buffet RC Prestige Bb/A Clarinets – NEW w/ Silver Keys

Buffet Crampon RC Prestige Bb & A Clarinet

The Buffet Crampon RC Prestige combines the rich tonal tradition of Buffet Crampon’s renowned RC family with the craftsmanship, materials, and refinement of the Prestige series. Designed for professional clarinetists seeking a broad, resonant sound with exceptional depth and flexibility, the RC Prestige offers a distinctly different playing experience from the more focused character of the R13 family.

Built around Buffet Crampon’s celebrated RC acoustic design, the RC Prestige is known for its warm, expansive tonal character and remarkable resonance throughout the instrument. Its response allows the player to produce a deep and colorful sound while maintaining the projection, clarity, and stability required for orchestral, chamber, and solo performance.

The RC Prestige is crafted from carefully selected African grenadilla wood, chosen for both its acoustic qualities and natural beauty. Premium construction and meticulous finishing complement the instrument’s sophisticated acoustic design, creating a clarinet that feels equally refined in the hands and under the fingers.

Professional silver-plated keywork, carefully engineered springwork, reinforced tenons, and an adjustable thumb rest complete an instrument designed for the demands of advanced and professional performance.

Available in both Bb and A, the RC Prestige provides players with a beautifully cohesive pair of professional instruments. Its combination of warmth, resonance, flexibility, and tonal depth makes it particularly appealing to clarinetists who prefer a more expansive sound concept while retaining the unmistakable character of Buffet Crampon.

For players who appreciate the traditional Buffet sound but want something broader, darker, and more resonant than the classic R13 concept, the RC Prestige remains one of Buffet Crampon’s most distinguished professional instruments.
