* Blue needle springs.
* Adjustable thumb rest.
* Arched key cups (same as R-13).
* Staggered trill keys (same as R-13).

The case provided with this instrument is very good, it provides space for reeds and cork grease and any other bits you may need.
The only thing I would say is that once the player has become more competent a new mouth piece may need to be purchased to provide a better tone.
Apart from this the clarinet is great and at a very competitive price. Overall a fantastic learning instrument....

Advantages: Great Quality and Sound Disadvantages: A bit expensive
...After starting the clarinet at school i asked for a buffet B12 clarinet for christmas. I kept this clarinet until the last year of my A levels but my clarinet teacher advised me that i needed a new one to progress further. Because of this i then started to try many different clarinets.

The reason i chose an RC prestige was because of the dark mellow german tone compared to the R13 prestige which gives a brighter french tone.
This clarinet served me well through my degree, i gained a first in major performance with this clarinet and enjoyed every minute of practicing with it. now i am a woodwind teacher i would always tell the pupils to go for Buffet as they make outstanding clarinet. Even the most basic models are well built and sound good...

If you decide that you want to buy a clarinet, you can get beginner plastic clarinet for around £200- to get a cleaner sound you will want a resin clarinet, starting at around £600. Professional ebony clarinets can cost anything up to £2 thousand plus.
Overall, I have found the clarinet to be a most rewarding instrument to play - both solo, and in groups from duets to orchestras. I also use it frequently in my music sessions for young people with special needs, who really enjoy the sound, and find it quite therapeutic.
I got my BuffetR13 in my second year of playing, and it has lasted me right up to degree level. There are many kinds of Buffets, but if you...
