About this model in general:
Of all the people who have made their mark in the history of Buffet Crampon, Robert Carr_e is without doubt one of the most important. He dedicated his career to perfecting the musical instrument artistically as well as mechanically. Creator of legendary instruments such as the French bassoon and the Dynaction saxophone, he revolutionised the world of the clarinet with the development of a new line with a unique, poly-cylindrical bore.
The RC model, already the world reference, received a redesign in 2014, benefitting from ten years of acoustical research and development.
The overall intonation of the instrument has been reviewed and enhanced to better adapt to the ever-increasing demands of the musician. Its warm, centred tone, projection, and its improved evenness of response and intonation will give pure satisfaction to musicians aspiring to a professional level or wanting to play the top of the line.


Lohff & Pfeiffer comments to the model:

The Buffet Crampon RC Eb-clarinet is a professional clarinet and has a wider bore than the R13. It is available in 440 Hz or 442 HZ. The serial number on the high pitch instruments starts with an F.

The RC was traditionally very popular in Europe but is now played throughout the world since it is available in lower pitches. The sound is rich, full and warm with beautiful overtones.

The wider bore reduces the resistance the player will feel compared with a narrow-bored instrument. It can be played with a less open mouthpiece and harder reeds without feeling too resistant.

The RC-Eb is not available with the left hand Eb/Ab key but Lohff & Pfeiffer can add it as an additional option.

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.

The R13, as well as the RC-models, are available in African Blackwood . The wooden ones have a black stained surface, to give them an even look, independent from the original color of the different body parts. This has no influence on the sound. To reduce the risk of cracking, Lohff & Pfeiffer offer the tone hole crack prevention for all wooden instruments as an option.
