Technical Data

• Manufactured by Buffet Crampon
• Released in 2022
• Average price : $7804
• Böhm system
• Lower section lengthened by several centimetres, in which a strategically placed resonance hole makes it possible to play the low E with a full and lively sound
• The entire chalumeau register is greatly improved thanks to the limited bulge in favour of a longer cylinder
• Shorter bell, which no longer determines the accuracy of the fundamental pitches E/B and F/C, but serves as a resonating body for the entire clarinet
• Stable and light high register, also thanks to the extended lower section
• Third fingering of the middle Bb, which creates vibrations along the entire length of the instrument to produce a full and resonant sound: this new mechanism also allows the musician to create new sequences without changing registers or revising certain fingerings used in the pieces of the repertoire
• The posture of the left hand, especially G# /C#, D/A, has been significantly improved
• Slightly raised tone hole on D, allowing a more ergonomic positioning of the fingers of the left hand by keeping them on the same horizontal plane
