Buffet RC Prestige Eb Clarinet – NEW w/ Silver Keys

Buffet Crampon RC Prestige E♭ Clarinet

The Buffet Crampon RC Prestige E♭ Clarinet brings the craftsmanship and refinement of the Prestige family to one of the most demanding voices of the clarinet family. Designed for advanced and professional players, the Prestige E♭ combines brilliant projection, tonal depth, precision, and exceptional control in an instrument built for the demands of orchestral, wind ensemble, chamber, and solo performance.

Crafted from carefully selected African grenadilla wood, the Prestige E♭ is designed to provide the clarity and presence expected from an E♭ clarinet without sacrificing warmth or body in the sound. Its refined acoustic design gives the player a strong tonal center throughout the instrument, allowing the upper register to project while maintaining richness and stability.

The Prestige is particularly well suited to players who want an E♭ clarinet that can be powerful and brilliant when required while remaining round, colorful, and controlled. Its responsive character provides the flexibility needed for exposed orchestral passages, delicate chamber playing, and technically demanding repertoire.

Buffet Crampon’s Prestige construction places particular emphasis on precision and durability. Carefully finished silver-plated keywork, reinforced tenons, precision springwork, and meticulous adjustment contribute to an instrument designed for the demands of professional use.

The result is an E♭ clarinet with the focus, projection, security, and tonal sophistication required at the highest levels of performance.

For the orchestral professional, university professor, advanced student, or dedicated E♭ clarinetist, the Buffet Crampon Prestige E♭ offers a compelling balance of traditional Buffet character and premium craftsmanship.

The Copeland Difference

The E♭ clarinet is particularly sensitive to setup. Small differences in pad seating, regulation, venting, and spring tension can have a significant effect on response, intonation, and security—especially in the upper register.

Every Buffet Crampon Prestige 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 prepared for serious performance.

Our goal is to give you an E♭ clarinet that feels secure and predictable even in the most exposed situations, allowing you to focus on the music rather than the instrument.
