About the model
Buffet Crampon has revolutionised the student clarinet! Now, beginners on a budget can start out with a professional sound. Essential qualities of the Prodige clarinet are tone, ergonomics and reliability.
For the first time in this range, the required operations for creating good acoustics, especially the moulding and drilling of the bore, are performed entirely in France and Germany to ensure a consistent result.
Prodiges new bore, inspired by the renowned E 13 model, allows an unprecedented ease of play and projection of sound. The intervals between notes are pitch-perfect and balanced.
Its bell has also been entirely reworked in order to optimise projection. Our innovation: a textured bore.
It is now possible for a young musician to learn to play on a professional-sounding clarinet at a reasonable price.

Lohff & Pfeiffer comments to the model
The Buffet Crampon B13 is the legendary student clarinet from Buffet which was made in ABS plastic but with a wood-like brushed plastic surface. This had no influence on the sound, it was just a bit more natural looking.
It was developed and produced at the German Buffet plant in Nauheim and later moved to its new plant in Markneukirchen .
The bore is 14.85mm wide and allows a free airflow with little resistance, optimal for beginners and young players. The dynamic range is stable from piano to forte and helps the student get accustomed to reliable intonation. The wide bore allows the use of a closed mouthpiece without the feel of too much resistance. See also Clarinet bores and sounds.

The B13 is only available in ABS plastic with a brushed wood-like surface. Like the E11, Lohff and Pfeiffer also offers the B12 in a small hand version. See also: LP small hand version.
