The warm, centred tone of the RC series

The Buffet Crampon RC Bb Clarinet 17/6 (BC1114-2-0) is the benchmark for clarinettists seeking a round, centred tone with excellent response. Designed by instrument maker Robert Carree, the RC series has been a classic for orchestra, music school and ambitious amateurs alike for decades.

The RC bore: the secret behind its signature sound

The clarinet takes its name from the RC bore designed by Robert Carree: a poly-cylindrical upper joint paired with a conical lower joint. This combination delivers balanced homogeneity across all registers, improved intonation and noticeably greater projection, without ever losing the warmth of the tone.

Premium materials for durability and precision

The body is crafted from stained grenadilla wood (Dalbergia melanoxylon) for rich tone and stability. The silver-plated nickel silver mechanism, with 17 keys and 6 rings, delivers a precise, smooth playing feel. Leather pads ensure reliable sealing and a natural tone response.

Your benefits at a glance:

• Warm, centred tone: the RC bore delivers homogeneity and projection across all registers.
• Professional materials: grenadilla body and silver-plated nickel silver mechanism for a rich, durable sound.
• Precise playing feel: adjustable thumb rest and stainless-steel pivots for lasting comfort.
• Reliable sealing: double fish-skin pads for a clean response in every register.
• Ready to play: case and care accessories included – all you need is a mouthpiece.
