About the model
Based on the R13 bore the Festival carinet was designed in 1987 with the advice of three artists that are well-known all over the world Jacques Lancelot, Guy Deplus and Michel Arrignon . the Festival clarinet meets the requirements of today s musicians, soloists and teachers interpreting the widest possible repertoire of works, from Mozart to Boulez.

Lohff & Pfeiffer comments to the model
The Buffet Crampon Festival is a professional clarinet, inside the R13 family.

It is a very flexible and universal instrument and very popular especially among orchestra players. The sound is primarily dark, focused and carrying but it offers a wide range of colors from elegant to aggressive. The register tube is placed 1mm closer to the mouthpiece. In Europe, It is delivered with a 65 and 66mm barrel.

The Festival is available in unstained, polished African Blackwood or Greenline. For players who like the R13 Prestige, which is not available in Greenline, the Festival could be a good alternative. To reduce the risk of cracking, Lohff & Pfeiffer offer the tone hole crack prevention for all wooden instruments as an option.

3. NEW,Since 2016 are all Buffet Pro-clarinets equipped with an adjusting screw for the left-hand F/C key. This enables the player to adjust occurring disturbing key-play on that key.
