About the model

Lohff & Pfeiffer comments to the model
The Buffet Crampon Tosca is the topline professional clarinet, inside the R13 family. Available as A, Bb, Eb and Bass.

The bore of the A and Bb in the lower joint end is narrower than all other Buffet models and continues with a considerable step first inside the bell. The Tosca bore design improves the focus in general and the stability in the high register in particular. Consequently, the instrument has a higher resistance, which can nicely be compensated with the use of a more open mouthpiece. The sound of the Tosca is always dark, well carried, controlled and very elegant.

The narrow bore causes the low F and E to be lower than usual. Therefore, an additional F correction key has been added. For players who wish an even sharper F or E we can add an additional low E & F resonance mechanism. See Low E-F correction.

Ergonomically the register-, A-, G# and side keys have been redesigned, which is preferred by many.
This model comes with the left hand Eb/Ab key.

The Tosca is available in unstained, polished African blackwood or in Greenline, a wise choice if you are worried about cracks. To reduce the risk of cracking, Lohff & Pfeiffer offer the tone hole crack prevention for all wooden instruments as an option

Like all small-bore instruments, it does have some resistance and allows the use of more open mouthpieces. It can be combined nicely with R13, R13 Prestige, Legend, Festival, Tradition and Vintage.
