This pre-owned Buffet Crampon Elite B♭ clarinet combines French craftsmanship with an innovative, lightweight design. Developed as one of Buffet Crampon’s flagship professional models, the Elite features a thin-walled wooden body and a bore derived from the renowned R13 family, offering a responsive feel and a focused, resonant sound.

Distinctive carbon-fibre joint rings reduce weight, while silver-plated keywork and gold-plated posts give the instrument an elegant appearance. Its specially shaped toneholes were developed to refine intonation and response, supporting expressive playing across the registers.

No longer in regular production (Replaced by the Divine), the Elite remains an appealing choice for advanced clarinetists seeking a distinctive professional instrument for orchestral, chamber and solo performance.
