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. I tried nearly every model and every make and narrowed it down to a Buffet RC and a BuffetR13. 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 ...
Advantages: A nice rich sound. Uses up my spare time. Disadvantages: Uses up my spare time
I was offered the chance to learn the clarinet at school. There only five of us chosen so I was very pleased. We had to take an aural test be picked.
I then had to get a clarinet. The problem was that they were expensive to buy about £2000. Obviously my mother wouldn?t buy one as I was only learning. The shop rented them out for a three-weekly cost of £32.

The keys are set out nicely making it easy to play. Of course you have to get used to them. My hands fit ...
Advantages: sounds and looks beautiful Disadvantages: needs looking after!
I have a BuffetR13clarinet and I have been complimented on my tone many a time whenever I play it.
The Look:
The wood on these clarinet is beautiful and every clarinet is truly unique, which helps make them feel more personal. The silver plated keys look good and polish up well with a silver cloth, and they don't tarnish. The carrying case also looks good, whilst being sturdy and strong.
Rating-8/10
Maintenance:
The main maintenance requirement with these is the cork. When you get a new one, you need to devote alot of attention to the cork joints, because they need a lot of cork grease to prevent the instrument from sticking together (have had that problem more than once!) Care and attention will ensure you have smooth lubrication of the joints and prevent the cork from falling apart.
Another issue is they keys-always keep ...
