The Buffet Crampon R13 Clarinet in Bb (B-flat) with silver-plated key mechanism, stained Grenadille wood body and undercut tone holes: the legendary choice of professionals!

The R13 was developed by Robbert Carré in 1955 and has quickly become the world's most popular professional clarinet. At that time, the Buffet Crampon R13 was a revolutionary development with the poly-cylindrical bore. The inside does not consist of a single cylinder, but of different cylinders with a slightly different diameter. The R13 was, and still is celebrated because of its rich focused tone and power in all registers. Today, this type of bore has been widely applied and the R13 has become the benchmark for all professional clarinets.

The R13 is a very flexible clarinet and lends itself to a broad variety of repertoires. The R13 is popular at symphonies or chamber music, soloists, teachers, military bands, students and demanding amateurs.
