{"product_id":"buffet-crampon-rc-sib-17-cles-bc1114-2-0-186535","title":"RC Bb (17 Keys) - BC1114-2-0","description":"\u003ch3\u003eRC: The Legacy of Robert Carrée and a Unique Place at Buffet Crampon\u003c\/h3\u003eIn Buffet Crampon's history, the name \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Carrée\u003c\/strong\u003e holds a major place. His work has marked the evolution of wind instruments, both acoustically and mechanically. With the RC clarinet, he introduced a groundbreaking idea: a \u003cstrong\u003epoly-cylindrical bore\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to enhance sound coherence and playing stability across the entire range.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBuffet Crampon RC\u003c\/strong\u003e model has established itself over decades as a \u003cstrong\u003eworldwide reference\u003c\/strong\u003e in the category of professional Bb clarinets. Revised in \u003cstrong\u003e2014\u003c\/strong\u003e following acoustic research and development efforts, this RC aims for a more contemporary overall intonation while preserving its signature qualities: a dense, centered timbre and a control sensation highly appreciated by demanding clarinetists.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Which Musician and Styles?\u003c\/h3\u003eThe Buffet Crampon RC Bb is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eadvanced musicians\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003econservatories\u003c\/strong\u003e (end of cycle), and \u003cstrong\u003eprofessionals\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a clarinet capable of enduring: solid intonation, projection, and consistent response. It is also perfectly suited for those wishing to \u003cstrong\u003eprogress into the high-end segment\u003c\/strong\u003e with a reference instrument known for its consistency.\u003cbr \/\u003eIts favored repertoire remains \u003cstrong\u003eclassical music\u003c\/strong\u003e (orchestra, chamber music, soloist) as well as \u003cstrong\u003ewind ensembles\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003emarching bands\u003c\/strong\u003e when a present and structured sound is needed. Thanks to its projection and centering, it can also find its place in more versatile contexts whenever a controlled sound and stable intonation are sought.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound and Design\u003c\/h3\u003eThe RC is renowned for a \u003cstrong\u003ewarm\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ecentered\u003c\/strong\u003e timbre, with marked \u003cstrong\u003ehomogeneity\u003c\/strong\u003e between registers (chalumeau, clarion, and altissimo). Its \u003cstrong\u003eenhanced projection\u003c\/strong\u003e facilitates presence both in an orchestral section and in a wind ensemble, while maintaining an elegant sonic identity. The global intonation update aims to meet current demands: stability of sustained notes, coherence of transitions, and comfort in dynamics.\u003cbr \/\u003eIts body made of \u003cstrong\u003egrenadilla\u003c\/strong\u003e (Dalbergia Melanoxylon) contributes to harmonic richness and attack precision. The \u003cstrong\u003epoly-cylindrical bore\u003c\/strong\u003e is at the heart of the playing sensation: it promotes a clear emission and fine control, particularly useful in intonation work and timbre equality. Mechanically, the \u003cstrong\u003esilver-plated\u003c\/strong\u003e finish provides a pleasant touch, while the \u003cstrong\u003eblued steel springs\u003c\/strong\u003e contribute to a responsive action, with a mechanism feel that is both smooth and precise.\u003cbr \/\u003eDesign details enhance daily reliability: \u003cstrong\u003eadjustable thumb rest\u003c\/strong\u003e to adapt ergonomics to your hand and posture, and choice of \u003cstrong\u003eleather pads\u003c\/strong\u003e complemented by \u003cstrong\u003ecork\u003c\/strong\u003e on the chalumeau key for consistent response in this heavily used area. The \u003cstrong\u003enew model bell\u003c\/strong\u003e fits into the instrument's overall balance, serving projection and register coherence.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended Compatible Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003eTo accompany a Bb clarinet, it is advisable to have consumables and essential maintenance items compatible with this format: \u003cstrong\u003eBb clarinet reeds\u003c\/strong\u003e (strength adapted to your mouthpiece and level), \u003cstrong\u003ecork grease\u003c\/strong\u003e to preserve the tenon assembly, and a \u003cstrong\u003eswab\u003c\/strong\u003e (pull-through) for internal drying after playing. These accessories promote stability, pad longevity, and daily playing comfort.\u003cbr \/\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
