[Features]
The RC is a classic model representing Buffet Crampon’s clarinet lineup.
Alongside the R13, it is a long-selling model that has enjoyed support for many years. While featuring a mellow and deep tone as its foundation, it offers light breathing and stands out for its excellent projection.

This particular instrument was manufactured in 1983. Although some time has passed since its production, its actual period of use totals approximately 10 years. It has been well-played but shows no excessive wear, and its attack and response exhibit a “well-seasoned” quality. It responds naturally to the player’s breath, offering a playing experience that allows for effortless concentration on the music.

It is easy to handle in orchestras and ensembles, and its stable intonation provides the reassuring reliability characteristic of RC.
It represents “another form of perfection,” distinct from the R13.
