An Accessory Developed at the Heart of Buffet Crampon Workshops
Born from exchanges with musicians worldwide and close collaboration with testers and ambassadors, the ICON bell is developed, measured, and validated at the Buffet Crampon workshops in Mantes-la-Ville (78). This approach, identical to that applied to instruments, makes it a serious alternative for clarinetists seeking acoustic and aesthetic evolution.
For Whom and in What Playing Contexts?
The ICON bell is aimed at intermediate to professional clarinetists who wish to refine response and projection in orchestra, chamber music, conservatory, marching band, or contemporary music settings, while keeping their clarinet.
Sound and Design
Its output is very centered, which promotes sound emission and stability. The high register gains ease, while the low register remains dense, rich, and powerful. The shape is refined at its center, the base is without a ring, and the wood selection (as with an instrument) directly contributes to the acoustic result and homogeneity.
- Specifically engineered flare to optimize airflow projection
- The finishing of the ferrule contributes to acoustic testing and aesthetic appeal
