What is so special about the Buffet RC Clarinet?
Of all the people who have made their mark in the history of Buffet Crampon, Robert Carrée 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.
In 1974, he decided to design a better clarinet and used the R13 as a starting point. Robert Car'e re-designed and improved upon the design that he developed in 1955 by changing the bore/barrel dimensions (but still retaining the same basic idea behind the poly-cylindrical bore), tone hole size, and tone hole placement, as well as fully undercut tone holes which improve tone, response, and intonation in all registers. The result is a clarinet with a richer, more resonant tone, better intonation, and greater projection and this makes the Buffet RC Clarinet ideal for the soloist, chamber musician, and the orchestral clarinetist.
Buffet was so pleased with the finished product that they named it after him, hence the name RC - Robert Carrée.
