About the model
The Legendary Choice of Professionals was created in 1955 by Robert Carre and is the most popular professional clarinet in the world. Its tone is focused and rich, and it is powerful in all registers.
Its flexibility lends itself to all repertoires: symphonies or chamber music, soloists, teachers, military bands, students or amateurs.

Lohff & Pfeiffer comments to the model
The Buffet Crampon R 13 Eb-clarinet is a professional clarinet and is one of the first poly cylindrical bored clarinets. It became the prototype of all modern clarinets and is now available in many different variations.

Today, it is primarily marketed in the US, England and the far east. The upgraded altered versions, like the Tosca, are now played by musicians all over the world and the most popular Eb. The R 13 is used by musicians of all musical styles and should be considered as professional as their more expensive upgrades despite the lower price tag. Both models are made in one piece.

All of these models are considered small-bore instruments and have in common, that their sound is dark, warm, focused and that they have a good projection. The sound color varies depending on the individual bore-shape-proportion. The narrow bore is also responsible for the higher resistance a player will feel, compared with wider reamed instruments.

The R 13 Eb is only available with silver-plated keys.

The R 13, as well as the RC-models are available in African blackwood with the black stained surfaces to give them an even look, independent from the original color of the different body parts. This has no influence on the sound. Some models are also available in crack preventing Greenline material. For players, who prefer the original wood, but like a reduce risk of cracking, Lohff & Pfeiffer offer the tone hole crack prevention for all wooden instruments as an option.

Attention! The R 13 is the only modern Buffet model, which never had a particular R 13 Logo. This can cause sometimes problems to determine which model it really is. Older E 11 models can easily be mistakenly categorized as R 13th after their Logo vanished since it was only printed onto their bodies. If in doubt, check out the form of the left-hand e-B and C-F lever as well as the serial no. font. E 11 has a very tiny one compared to the much bigger R 13 font.

The R 13 is not available with the left hand Eb/Ab lever, but we can add one.
