collapse expand iconDescription

Developed through industrial synergy between Buffet's research & development arm and its production facilities based in France and Germany, the new E12F student clarinet came onto the market in September 2012.

Its body is derived from professional models and made in Buffet Crampon's French workshops; the key assembly and quality control are carried out by our German teams in Markneukirchen.

Ease of play, reliability, and accurate tuning are the main characteristics of this new Buffet Crampon clarinet. The E12F: setting new standards for young musicians. It comes with a lightweight ergonomic backpack fitted with extra side pockets.

    I use the Buffet E12F in Symphonic Band. This clarinet has provided me with rich tone that my previous plastic clarinet couldn't even dream of. The only issue was the cork on the upper tenon fell apart and a key started leaking but after a $38 repair, i was back up and running.
