Buffet Crampon BC XXI Bb Clarinet

The perfect fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern acoustical technology

The Buffet Crampon BC XXI Bb Clarinet is a masterfully crafted instrument that combines the excellence of Buffet Crampon's renowned acoustics with cutting-edge technology. Made from African Blackwood, this clarinet delivers a warm, resonant sound with impressive projection, featuring an adjustable thumb rest and a redesigned bore for optimal tonal clarity.

Revolutionary Features

This revolutionary clarinet was introduced by Buffet Crampon in 2022, bringing innovative features that enhance sound quality and playability:

  • The extended lower joint of the B-flat clarinet, with a strategically placed resonance vent, produces a full, vibrant low E-flat and improves the entire chalumeau register with limited flare for a longer cylinder.
  • A shorter bell serves as a resonator for the entire clarinet rather than determining the accuracy of fundamental notes, enhancing overall tonal quality.
  • An exceptionally stable and easy high register, supported by the elongated bottom joint.
  • A third fingering of Bb in the middle register activates vibrations along the entire instrument, producing a resonant sound and enabling seamless transitions across registers.
  • Improved balance for left-hand keys, especially for G♯ /C♯ and D/A positions.
  • A raised tone hole on D allows more ergonomic positioning for the left-hand fingers, keeping them on a single horizontal plane.
  • The ability to rediscover repertoire pieces in A to Bb, including compositions featuring low E-flat, with the BC XXI Bb Clarinet.
  • Achieve a traditional clarinet weight despite advanced features, thanks to a shorter bell and lightweight carbon fiber rings.
