R13

A historic Buffet Crampon model

Developed in 1950 by designer Robert Carré, the R13 garnered critical acclaim in the United States and continues to enjoy unprecedented popularity to this day.

The R13 boasts powerful volume, flexible expressiveness, and a rich tone that can resonate throughout a large hall. As a hallmark of Buffet Crampon, the R13's body does not feature any plaques or engravings bearing the model name.

Famously used by Benny Goodman, it is favored by clarinetists of all genres around the world, particularly in Japan and the United States.

Heralded as the pinnacle of the Boehm system, this flagship model represents Buffet Crampon. In Japan, it is widely used by brass bands, students, amateurs, and professionals alike, solidifying its position as the most popular clarinet.
