The intonation is impeccable even through the throat tones, the core Buffet sound is back with a rounded R13 like bell and with the addition of the low F correction the weight is not too heavy. For what you get in a clarinet the price point will get you thinking...

Inspired by the pre-1950s BC20 clarinet, the Buffet Tradition features a new cylindrical bore design, complimenting the R13 and RC bore families and adding a new acoustic dimension to the brand’s catalog. With a purity of sound that harkens back to the tone produced by the BC20, the result is an instrument that presents a clear, focused, rich sound suitable for any acoustic environment and an even scale for consistent intonation throughout all registers.

This clarinet was developed by a team of Buffet Crampon Artists from both America and France: the American team, composed of Jonathan Gunn, Burt Hara, Victoria Luperi, Mark Nuccio and Gregory Raden; The French team, composed of Michel Arrignon, Nicolas Baldeyrou and Paul Meyer.
