The glorious Gala tone

It takes work to sound great every day. Buffet have put as much work into building the Gala as you have at learning to play the clarinet. What's more, there's nothing else like it - Buffet have a closely guarded secret in how they mill their poly-cylindrical bore, which means you get that signature premium Buffet sound.

Just like all Buffet premium clarinets, you won't find any part that hasn't gone under Buffet Crampon's meticulous eye for quality. The fantastic sound also comes from the carefully chosen and aged Grenadilla wood. A dense material that helps the clarinet avoid warping over time, perhaps most importantly, it is a key part of the Gala developing a luscious sound over its lifetime. What's more, the wood is sustainably sourced, protecting the species for future generations.

Top quality keywork

A nod to tradition. The keywork on the Gala is handcrafted and personally tested. Therefore, you can be sure that your keys will age gracefully, lasting throughout the years. This is again, thanks to Buffet Crampon's fastidious approach to the Gala's creation.

The keys are taken from the raw materials and forged using Buffet Crampon's one of a kind method. They are then plated with black nickel to provide a truly alluring aesthetic. The intense nature of the instrument's creation doesn’t end there.

One thing you might notice when you pick up a Buffet Gala, is the tactile and reactive nature of the keys. This is no accident. It is the result of someone carefully assembling the keywork with the utmost care for the prospective player. Combined with the tools you've come to expect - an adjustable thumb rest and leather pads - the Buffet Gala will perform day-in, day-out.

Stylish protection

The Buffet Gala Professional Bb Clarinet comes in a traditional "pochette" case. This case not only looks stylish, but it offers fantastic protection for your new clarinet.
