Buffet Crampon Tradition Clarinet
The Tradition clarinet, introduced in 2019, builds on the legacy of the acclaimed Legende model, which debuted to great success in 2017. Known for delivering “sound at its purest level,” the Tradition is part of a new family of cylindrical-bore clarinets, descended from the iconic BC20 model. Its woody, well-centered tone captivated players worldwide, inspiring continuous innovation and refinement.
Refined Design and Professional Quality
The latest Tradition model features enhancements borrowed from the high-end Legende, including metal tenon caps and a low F correction key, while preserving the original model’s acoustic excellence. The new vertical medallion adds elegance to this already distinguished model. Made from natural, unstained grenadilla wood, each Tradition clarinet is crafted with care at the workshops in Mantes la Ville, France, embodying the rich tradition of woodwind craftsmanship.
Tradition and Legende represent Buffet Crampon’s commitment to innovation rooted in classic craftsmanship, offering professional clarinetists options that combine heritage and modern performance standards.
