“I’m absolutely in love with my new instrument. Alcides’ work truly makes a huge difference in how the instrument plays- More importantly, my new instrument was selected by a performer: someone who understands the concerns and needs of other performers.”
Buffet Légende Clarinet
The newest model from Buffet, the Légende clarinet, will surprise players with its accurate pitch and immediate response. Its precise and centered tone, characteristic of this new bore concept, brings out a whole spectrum of sound that encompasses a full range of coloring options.
It also celebrates the 190th anniversary of Buffet by proposing new aesthetic options- a clarinet that comes with rose gold and silver keywork.
- Metal-capped tenons
- Greenline tone hole slots, ensuring an air-tight closure and flawless sound while eliminating the risk of cracking
- Low F correction key to enhance the sound in the low register
- Two barrels
- Ergonomic rings for a more comfortable and intuitive feel (Légende exclusively)
- Natural wood, specially selected and honed for exceptional resonance
- 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.
