Buffet-Crampon “Divine” Clarinet in Bb.

Beautiful condition and plays perfectly. The original Buffet pads all seal perfectly and the clarinet plays with a wonderfully smooth tone throughout the registers with excellent intonation.

The silver plated keys show very little wear and the African blackwood is in excellent order showing no cracks. Two barrels (65mm and 66mm) are present but the 65mm shows a tiny hairline crack on the outside. This does not affect the playing of the instrument in any way.

Presented in a brown Italian leather single case by GL cases.

A truly superb top professional model which plays effortlessly.

A new Divine Bb clarinet is currently priced around £6500.

The Buffet Divine Bb Clarinet is Buffet's flagship clarinet, the result of the collaboration between the Buffet workshops and internationally renowned clarinettists to develop new acoustics and a fantastic instrument, the “Divine” clarinet.

This model benefits from having the same hole placement as the Tosca model which allows for better intonation in every register.

The improved bore favours flexible register-crossing and freer blowing during the most demanding pieces. The Bb Divine clarinet comes with two barrels – 65mm (442hz) and 66mm (440hz).

The Divine is made of grenadilla wood with specific upper joint Green Line tone-hole slots eliminating air leaks on tone-holes most prone to crack.

The carbon wire (a Buffet Crampon patent), which replaces the metal rings, makes the clarinet 60 grams lighter and thus contributes to its exceptional balance with greater vibration and freer blowing. As with the Tosca model, the Divine clarinets are equipped with a low F correction key.

New keywork and spatulas enhance the clarinet’s ergonomics without de-stabilising the musician’s capabilities. Whereas the Tosca clarinet was the R13 bore’s top range model, the Divine features the Buffet Crampon RC bore’s latest evolution.

This new range of clarinet represents a major step forward in Buffet Crampon’s history, by fusing technical expertise with unparalleled craftsmanship in French wind instrument manufacturing.
