Buffet Crampon | New B12 Bb Clarinet

Buffet Crampon have reignited the legacy of their prolific student Bb Clarinet – the B12. The B12 has a history of being one of the world’s premier entry-level clarinets. It has since been redesigned with improved ergonomics, updated materials, and enhanced playability. Built from lightweight, durable ABS resin with a refined, wood-grain appearance, the new B12 offers the classic Buffet tone in a stable, low-maintenance instrument ideal for beginners and school programmes.

 

Its redesigned keywork provides fluid action and a more comfortable feel suited impeccably to those with smaller hands, aiding beginners in developing good technique from the first time they pick up the Clarinet. The free-blowing bore and carefully balanced resistance make it easy to produce a clear, centred tone across the full range, encouraging confident progression in lessons, rehearsals, and early performances.

 

The B12 is an excellent option for new Clarinettists of all age. It is easy to play, reliable and affordable. It’s also a solid option for more advanced musicians, amateurs, semi-professionals, or professionals that are seeking for a trusty backup instrument.
