ABS B12 clarinet

A timeless icon, back to inspire the present.

New generation

More than 30 years ago, we introduced a clarinet that opened new markets for Buffet Crampon across Europe, the United States, Australia, and Asia. At the time, the B12 became the most accessible clarinet in our catalog. Today, in 2025, we’re proud to present the new generation of this iconic student clarinet — still highly affordable, while retaining the hallmark features that define our student range.

Versatile and easy to play

The B12 is a great choice for learners of all ages looking to start on a clarinet that is easy to play, reliable, and affordable. It’s also a solid option for more advanced musicians — amateurs, semi-professionals, or professionals — seeking a reliable backup or outdoor instrument.
