“My new RC Prestige E-flat clarinet is everything I could have hoped for and so much more! I could not have asked for a better instrument or for better people to work with than Heather and Alcides. The quality of instruments and the friendly, professional service I received through RMS is truly at the highest level available. I will be recommending you to everybody I work with!”
Buffet RC Prestige Eb Clarinet
The RC Prestige Eb clarinet remains a top choice for orchestral clarinetists and soloists worldwide. As Buffet’s premium Eb clarinet in the RC bore family, the Buffet RC Prestige Eb includes refinements such as:
- Natural, unstained and finely polished grenadilla wood
- Undercut/polished tone holes
- Metal-capped tenons (to risk cracking or splitting)
- Two barrels: 42mm and 41.5mm
- Egg-shaped contour of bell interior (for better sound projection)
- Auxiliary E♭ lever
- Vandoren B44 mouthpiece included
- RMS hand selected and fully upgraded


Hand-Selected at the Buffet Factory
All premium model clarinets are hand-selected at the Buffet factory in France by Alcides Rodriguez (Atlanta Symphony) and Alexandre Chabod (Paris Opera). We look for the following qualities:
- A rich, resonant tone and a sweet core (a clarinet that ‘sings’)
- Evenness of scale and resistance
- A sound that exhibits a large spectrum of overtones and colors
- Best possible tuning
RMS Premium Upgrade
- Tenons are checked and adjusted for proper fit.
- All pads are replaced to improve response and evenness throughout the entire instrument. We use a combination of leather and synthetic pads.
- All bumpers are replaced with more durable and reliable materials for optimal mechanism performance.
- The mechanisms are adjusted for crisp and even key action (spring tension is balanced and keys/rings are checked for proper height.)
- Tones holes are resurfaced (as needed) to guarantee an optimal seal.
- Final play testing of the clarinet and final adjustments are made.
