Buffet E12F Student Clarinet Outfit - Secondhand

Full Description

Buffet E12F

Buffet's research, development, and production teams all worked together to produce a high-quality student clarinet, for an affordable price. It was important to keep the professional qualities of the model, so Buffet worked hard to come up with a solution which could make this possible. The assembly of this model takes place in Buffet's German workshop in Markneukirchen. The key characteristics of the E12F are its reliability, accurate tuning, and easy playability.

Grenadilla Wood Body

Unlike similar student clarinets, the E12F features an African Blackwood (otherwise known as grenadilla) body. The wood has been treated with a clear varnish to prevent damage to the instrument. The benefit from this wood body is the unprecedented tone, which is favoured by all professional musicians and has been the chosen professional choice of wood for decades.

Keys and Mechanisms

The Buffet E12F clarinet has a simple design featuring the standard 17 keys and 6 rings. All keywork is silver plated, which is long lasting and ergonomic, enabling ease of play for all clarinetists. This combined with an adjustable thumb rest, makes the E12F very nice to play. All tone holes have been undercut and combined with leather pads, creating a great seal with better intonation and tonal character.
