Barrels we carry:

Buffet Moennig

Buffet Crampon's Moennig barrels were developed by Hans Moennig. The barrel has a reserved taper which gets tighter downwards in order to provide more resistance, improved tonal focus, better tuned 12ths. The barrel is made from Grenadilla wood with silver metal rings.

Buffet Rondo

Buffet Crampon's newest line-up of barrel offerings features a slightly rounded shape that pays homage to the elegance of the Viennese clarinets and sound concept. These barrels are considered to be high-precision bores that guarantee homogeneity and sonority. 

Available in Grenadilla, Greenline and Mopane wood. 

Buffet Chadash

The Chadash barrel, made from hand-selected unstained Dalbergia wood, is of the highest quality that Buffet has in their stocks in Paris. The Chadash barrel is a reverse tapered cone bore similar to the "Moennig" barrel but with a very slow progression of the taper. The boring process for each barrel is done with a single-edged French-style reamer that involves two different passes with the borer followed by the polishing of the bore.

ICON

The elegance of the body and the finely worked rings give this barrel a distinctive style. The bore and the silhouette are the culmination of the latest acoustical research carried out Buffet Crampon on its family of clarinets. Responsiveness, sound projection and definition of articulation are greatly facilitated by the new ICON barrel, contributing to the player’s comfort.
