About the model The Premium?s acoustics originate from its celebrated E 13 and E 12 F models, allowing an ease of play and air flow without precedent in the student clarinet market.
At the heart of the instrument, its plastic joints are made of ABS polymer resin, molded in Mantes la Ville, France to ensure a consistent and highly responsive level of quality control. The holes are drilled with a precision controlled by digitally calibrated machines at the Buffet Crampon production facility in Markneukirchen, Germany. Its keywork is assembled in their Beijing facilities established for this purpose in 2015. Unpresedened in that pricerange is it's silverplated surface, which prevents the risc of nickel allergies.
Lohff & Pfeiffer comments to the model The Buffet Crampon Premium is the new student instrument and is the successor of the legendary B12 with silver-plated keys and one of our favorites.
The large bore reduces the resistance and makes it very suitable for new or young players. The intonation is very stable within the piano to fortissimo range.

This makes it very tolerant and can withstand outdoor use, rough care or maintenance neglect. (to a degree). Comparing the two model, we definitely recommand the Premium, because of the silver-plated keys. It eliminates the risk of developing a nickel allergy. See also:
