Buffet Crampon BC1156GL-2-0 - LEGENDE Bb GREEN LINE

An Exceptional Clarinet in the Buffet Crampon Heritage

With the LÉGENDE, Buffet Crampon offers a Bb clarinet developed through a recent methodology while remaining faithful to the brand's DNA: high-precision mechanics, refined acoustics, and an immediately recognizable sound identity. A key reference in the clarinet world since the 19th century, Buffet Crampon has distinguished itself with instruments that have marked orchestral sections and conservatories. The LÉGENDE continues this "high-end" tradition by incorporating attributes of longevity and comfort, adding an aesthetic signature inspired by tests conducted for the company's 190th anniversary.

For Which Clarinetist and Styles?

The Buffet Crampon LÉGENDE is primarily aimed at advanced and professional clarinetists seeking a Bb clarinet that is precise, stable, and expressive. Its ease of sound production and tuning make it a natural choice for the classical repertoire (orchestra, chamber music, soloist), where register homogeneity and intonation quality are crucial. Its centered timbre, capable of both bright and mellow nuances, also suits versatile musicians (variety, ensembles, studio projects) who want a reliable sound foundation without compromising control.

Sound and Design

The LÉGENDE stands out with very controlled intonation and an immediate response, which enhance articulation, attack precision, and stability in both pianissimo and more projected passages. Its centered and precise timbre, characteristic of this new bore family, offers a color palette ranging from bright to velvety, while maintaining excellent homogeneity across chalumeau, clarion, and altissimo registers. The presence of a low F correction key aims to enhance this register and secure intonation on the most sensitive notes.

In terms of design, the tenons with rings reinforce the durability of the connection between the upper and lower joints, while the Green LinE inserts contribute to more precise sealing and consistent sound production, while limiting risks related to wood variations. The setup is completed by a high-reliability mechanism, ergonomic rings for a more intuitive touch, and a refined aesthetic combining silver and rose gold, highlighted by a gilded medallion that marks the instrument at first glance.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the best out of this Bb clarinet, you can consider Bb clarinet reeds (strength adapted to your mouthpiece and sound production), as well as cork grease for routine maintenance of the joints. A swab is already included: consider complementing it, if needed, with maintenance consumables (microfiber cloth, pad papers) to preserve pad durability and sealing consistency over time.
