《R13》

A historic Buffet Crampon model.

Developed in 1950 by designer Robert Carrée, the R13 garnered immense acclaim in the United States and continues to enjoy unprecedented popularity to this day.

The R13 is an instrument characterized by powerful projection that fills even large concert halls, flexible expressive capabilities, and a rich, colorful tone. True to its status as the quintessential Buffet Crampon instrument, the body bears no plate or engraving of the model name.

Famous as the instrument of choice for Benny Goodman, it is favored by clarinetists across all genres worldwide, particularly in Japan and the U.S.

Hailed as the ultimate masterpiece of the Boehm system, it is Buffet Crampon's flagship model. In Japan, it is widely loved by everyone from students and amateur players to professionals—including in wind orchestras—cementing its position as the number one most popular choice.
