The Legacy of Robert Carrée and the Buffet Crampon RC Model

Among the influential figures in the history of Buffet Crampon, Robert Carrée stands out as one of the most significant. Dedicated to elevating both the artistry and mechanics of musical instruments, Carrée’s innovations include the creation of iconic instruments such as the French bassoon and Dynaction saxophone. His groundbreaking work on clarinets, particularly through the development of the poly-cylindrical bore, forever changed the instrument's landscape.

The renowned RC model, a global standard in clarinets, received a major redesign in 2014 after a decade of intense acoustical research and development. This redesign enhanced overall intonation and response, making it a perfect fit for musicians with high demands. Known for its warm, centered tone, projection, and improved evenness, the RC model delivers satisfaction for musicians aspiring to reach a professional level.
