Buffet Tosca Eb Clarinet – NEW w/ Silver Keys

Buffet Crampon Tosca E♭ Clarinet

The Buffet Crampon Tosca E♭ Clarinet brings the refinement, richness, and flexibility of the celebrated Tosca family to the brilliant voice of the E♭ clarinet. Designed for the demands of professional performance, the Tosca E♭ combines exceptional projection with a remarkably round, colorful, and harmonically rich sound.

Built upon Buffet Crampon’s renowned R13 bore tradition, the Tosca takes the focused character associated with that family and develops it into an exceptionally refined instrument. Its acoustic design provides the clarity and presence necessary for the E♭ clarinet to project through an orchestra or wind ensemble while retaining warmth, depth, and tonal complexity.

One of the defining characteristics of the Tosca E♭ is its ease and flexibility. The instrument responds freely throughout its range, allowing the player to move comfortably between delicate passages and the brilliant, powerful playing often demanded of the E♭ clarinet. Its tonal stability gives the player greater freedom to shape color, articulation, and dynamics without sacrificing the core of the sound.

Crafted from carefully selected African grenadilla wood, the Tosca E♭ features professional silver-plated keywork with 18 keys and 6 rings, a left-hand E♭ lever, metal-capped tenons, precision springwork, and an adjustable thumb rest. It is designed for 440/442 Hz performance and includes two barrels for additional flexibility in pitch and response.

The result is an E♭ clarinet capable of being brilliant without becoming thin, powerful without becoming harsh, and responsive without sacrificing tonal stability.

For the orchestral professional, university professor, advanced student, or dedicated E♭ clarinet specialist, the Tosca represents one of Buffet Crampon’s most sophisticated approaches to the instrument. Its combination of projection, roundness, harmonic richness, flexibility, and refined response makes it an exceptional choice for players looking for an E♭ clarinet without compromise.

The Copeland Difference

The E♭ clarinet is particularly sensitive to setup, and even small inconsistencies in pad seating, regulation, spring tension, and venting can have a noticeable effect on response, intonation, and security.

Every Buffet Crampon Tosca 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.

At this level, your instrument should give you confidence in even the most exposed passages. Our goal is to make sure your Tosca E♭ allows you to focus on the music rather than the mechanics of the instrument.
