Buffet Tradition A Clarinet Overview
Sound at its purest level. This is what defines the Buffet Tradition A clarinet. After fine-tuning the design, the Tradition clarinet now boasts an entirely silver plated mechanism with a new low F correction key. And for the perfect finish, the Tradition now displays the new and elegant vertical logo.
Inspired by pre-1950 models, the Buffet Tradition clarinet features the revolutionary poly-cylindrical bore. Not only does this provide you with an undeniable Buffet playing experience, but it also produces a woody and well-centred tone.
It doesn't end there though. Around the back of the clarinet, you will find an adjustable thumb rest for added comfort. And for an extra touch of luxury, the Tradition boasts metal capped tenons and tone hole placements inspired by the distinguished Tosca clarinet.

The Tradition Design
With its new poly-cylindrical bore design, the 'Tradition' Clarinet is inspired by the tonal characteristics of pre-1950 clarinet design while providing the most agile and hard wearing attributes associated with contemporary playing. The cylindrical bore design based on the model which gave birth to the modern professional clarinet, the BC20, compliments the R13 and RC bore families, adding a new acoustic dimension to the Buffet catalog.
Le son à l’état pur,
Translated to mean 'Sound at its purest level'. This is one of the many ways to describe the beauty and tonal character of the new Tradition Clarinet. This model represents a clarinet in its most natural and pure form, without the emphasis on unnecessary alterations or technology.
BC20 Inspired Bore Design
The new poly-cylindrical bore design combined with the Tosca inspired tone hole placement results in an instrument that presents a clear focused and weighted sound suitable for all playing styles and environments. These innovations result in the player being able to focus more on technical aspects, rather than voicing and embouchure alterations to achieve their tonal desires.
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.
Additional Accessories
The Buffet 'Tradition' Clarinet comes with a host of accessories, including a dark naugahyde new generation pochette case, ligature and cap, and cleaning and maintenance materials. A mouthpiece is not included.
