Created in 1955 by Robert Carrée, the R13 clarinet quickly established itself in the United States and still enjoys unprecedented success today. It is the oldest model in the Buffet Crampon catalogue, and still the best seller.
It offers a centered sound rich in harmonics, with powerful projection in all registers. Its great flexibility makes it suitable for every repertoire: symphony or chamber music, soloists, teachers, military orchestras, students and amateurs.
Available in grenadilla, in Green-LinE® composite wood and in a mopane limited edition, in Bb, A and Eb, the R13 remains a true legend and a worldwide benchmark for the clarinet.
