About this model in general:
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.

This model comes with the left hand Eb/Ab key. Some older instruments were delivered without the key but it can be added separately.

Additional Key features

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. Lohff and Pfeiffer offered this feature since the 80th as an option. This is stall available for older instruments.

Lohff & Pfeiffer offers the Festival Greenline with covered holes – the plateau version. This is very handy if you have to play outside, and like to play with gloves when it is cold (other models are available on-demand).

Like all smaller bore instruments, it does have some resistance and allows the use of a more open mouthpiece. It can be combined nicely with R-13, R-13 Prestige, Légende, Vintage, Tradition, and Tosca.
