《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 model-name plate or engraving.

It is famous as the instrument favored by Benny Goodman and is loved by clarinetists across all genres worldwide, particularly in Japan and the U.S.

Acclaimed as the ultimate masterpiece of the Boehm system, it stands as Buffet Crampon's flagship model. It holds an unshakable position as the most popular choice in Japan, cherished by a wide range of players—from students and amateur enthusiasts to professionals—across various settings, including wind orchestras.
