The Tradition Design

These Buffet Tradition Clarinets have been inspired by a pre-1950's design, whilst accommodating the needs and ambitions of modern day players. Featuring a brand new poly-cylindrical bore design, this clarinet has added a new acoustic option to Buffet's ever growing catalog of products.

Le Son a l'etat pur

Translates to 'sound at its purest level', which is Buffets way to describe the beauty and tonal character of this new Tradition Clarinet. These model's represents a clarinet in its most natural and pure form, without unnecessarily altering the design.

Inspired Bore Design

The new poly-cylindrical bore design combined with a Tosca inspired tone hole placement, results in a clear focused and weighted sound suitable for all playing styles and environments. These innovations help the player to focus more on technical aspects, rather than voicing and embouchure alterations.

Top Quality Mechanisms

With any Buffet Clarinet, you are purchasing one of the best designed and manufactured clarinets on the market. The stainless steel rods and pivot screws are silver plated to provide strength, durability and a stylish look. The maillechort keywork (an alloy of copper, zinc and nickel) has been cold forged and plated in copper and then silver plating. This gives a smoother finish and a longer lasting set of materials. The waterproof GT pads meet undercut tone holes to create a fantastic seal and a sound that is full of tone. After all this, the instrument is adjusted and tuned to precise measurements by expert technicians before it leaves the factory. As a tribute to the clarinets of decades past, the key posts are left in their bare state, to give a vintage and aesthetically pleasing result.
