More than 30 years ago, the Buffet Crampon B12 Clarinet introduced a generation of students to the rich, resonant sound that defines Buffet craftsmanship. Quickly becoming the market leader across Europe, the United States, Australia, and Asia, the B12 earned a reputation for quality, playability, and reliability.

Now, in celebration of Buffet Crampon’s 200th anniversary, the B12 returns — refined yet faithful to its iconic heritage. Its ABS polymer body ensures a lightweight, durable design that’s resistant to temperature and humidity changes, making it perfect for students and outdoor performances. The nickel-plated silver keywork provides smooth action and lasting brilliance, while Valentino synthetic pads and blue steel springs guarantee consistent sealing and responsiveness for years of dependable play.

Packaged in a durable hard case, the new B12 continues Buffet’s legacy as the go-to clarinet for aspiring musicians who want professional quality at an accessible price.
