Buffet Crampon Divine Bb (19 Keys) - BC1160LN

La Divine, the modern evolution of a great Buffet Crampon clarinet

Created in 2012 with the participation of clarinettist Paul Meyer, the Buffet Crampon Divine quickly established itself as a benchmark for professional B-flat clarinets. This new version retains the acoustic identity that made it successful while refining essential elements of its design. It is aimed at musicians seeking an expressive, stable and refined instrument, capable of responding precisely to the demands of the contemporary repertoire.

Buffet Crampon showcases its historic expertise in the manufacture of high-end clarinets. The Divine features the "Grand Siècle" finishing, already appreciated on the Légende and BC XXI models. Its gold-plated details add a distinguished elegance to the silver-plated keywork, while the GreenLine inserts and carbon-fibre wire rings underline its resolutely premium positioning.

A professional clarinet for orchestral, stage and chamber music

The Divine is intended for advanced to professional clarinettists seeking an immediately responsive and nuanced B-flat clarinet. Its balance is equally suited to orchestral work, where accurate intonation and consistency are essential, as well as to chamber music and solo playing, where every musical intention must be conveyed naturally.

It reveals its full potential in the classical, Romantic and contemporary repertoire, while its controlled projection and precise articulation will also appeal to musicians performing in concert bands, wind ensembles or contemporary music projects requiring highly refined control.

A rich and fluid acoustic character, enhanced by a redesigned bell

The bore, meaning the internal tube that guides the air column, retains the dimensions that contribute to the Divine's identity. However, the internal shape of the bell has been extensively redesigned. This development optimises airflow throughout the instrument and provides a more immediate response, particularly appreciated in the second register.

The result is a clarinet with a dense, luminous tone and beautiful harmonic richness. Projection remains present without becoming aggressive, allowing a wide variety of colours to be maintained at every dynamic level. The response is supple, intonation is secure and the registers transition with remarkable consistency.

Made from grenadilla, the body offers the tonal qualities sought by professional clarinettists: depth, warmth and precision. Fitted tenons enhance the reliability of the assembly, while the pads combining leather, GT and cork contribute to airtightness and mechanical responsiveness. Finally, the adjustable thumb rest allows the instrument's support to be adapted more precisely to the player's hand and physique.

Recommended compatible accessories

To preserve this professional clarinet's playing qualities, regular use of a swab suitable for a B-flat clarinet is recommended to remove moisture after each session. Cork grease is also suitable for maintaining the tenons and ensures smooth assembly of the various sections. The Divine comes with the essential accessories to get started: ligature, mouthpiece cap, swab, grease tube, case, cloth and pencil.
