Buffet Crampon Vintage R13 A ClarinetThe Buffet Vintage R13 A Clarinet produces a pure, focused sound that is unmistakably Buffet. Many elements were utilized on the Vintage that are not found on the modern R13. Several tone hole placements have been adjusted to improve tuning, and the bell is 1mm longer producing a very fluid clarion register. Features include full grenadilla wood body, silver-plated keys, adjustable thumb rest, and two barrels (one cylindrical, one reverse taper). Musicians of all kinds will love the Buffet R13 Vintage as it is extremely flexible, centers easily and projects well in almost any hall.History of the Vintage R13 In 1996, during a tour of the US and Canada, Rene Lesieux, Buffet's Research and Development Manager, fielded many requests from players who wanted a clarinet with the same feel and sound quality of the 1950's R13s. The result is a clarinet that has a great scale, a fluid sound and better response and sound emission.

I have had this clarinet for four or five years and I love it. If I could clone it and make it my Bb I would. The tone is rich and dark and it is very even. I find that it plays pretty easily for me. I love my Vintage A.
The Buffet R-13 Vintage A is a little different from most A clarinets. For one it has a very small bore. Let me repeat that VERY. A clarinets are real stuffy and should have a pretty good size bore. With the vintage's small bore it makes it harder to play and require more air to make a sound. You'll adjust but it would just take a minute. My advice to anyone out there with a Bb Vintage is to not buy a matching A but a regular R-13 A with a more open bore. Besides the small bore the vintage A has GREAT key work and is actually a nice clarinet. It has some odd looking tone holes, but those are made to make it sound better.
