The Buffet E11 clarinet is a popular intermediate or step-up wooden clarinet, ideal for advancing clarinetists. It's commended for its warm tone, ease of play, and solid construction, making it suitable for intermediate players transitioning to wooden instruments.
The E11 Buffet clarinet boasts a Grenadilla wood (African Blackwood) body, known for its resonant warm tone and tuning stability. Its density, dimensional stability, and moisture repellence are key factors in its use for making musical instruments.
The E11 has a slightly larger bore compared to models like the R13, making it easier for advancing clarinetists to produce a quality tone with less resistance. This design supports clarinetists as they build their air support skills
Compared to Buffet-Crampon professional clarinets, the E11 is more affordable while still offering features inspired by higher-end instruments, like the poly-cylindrical bore which improves intonation and sound quality, and 65mm barrel which produces a focused tone and quick response.
If you're considering a used clarinet, we occasionally have them available. Our pre-owned clarinets have undergone inspection and adjustment by our service department and are ready to play!
The Buffett E11 clarinet stands out for its wooden construction and free-blowing design, making it ideal for advancing players. It's sure to provide a life-time of playing enjoyment. Contact Andy's and order yours today.
