Following right alongside our A clarinet arrival, we have its matching companion on the bench. The Buffet Crampon R13 Bb clarinet is the undisputed king of professional clarinets, relied upon by symphony players, soloists, and top educators across the globe. This instrument delivers the legendary dark, focused tone, rich harmonic complexity, and incredible projection that has made the R13 name legendary for generations.
(Special Note for Set Buyers: This Bb clarinet; serial number 697592; was originally purchased alongside our companion A clarinet (serial number 697604). While they are available individually, we are offering a significant package discount if you purchase both together to unite this matching pair. Please contact us directly to discuss this bundle offer!)
