Premium Models from France

All of our premium model clarinets are hand selected at the Buffet factory in Mantes-la-Ville, France by Alcides Rodriguez (Atlanta Symphony clarinetist) and Alexandre Chabod (Paris Opera clarinetist).  When selecting clarinets, 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

After the hand selection process, every RMS premium model Buffet clarinet is fully upgraded:

• 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 synthetic and leather 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.
