Buffet B12 Student Bb Clarinet (2025 Model)

The legend returns - the iconic Buffet Crampon B12 student clarinet is back!

More than 30 years ago, Buffet Crampon introduced the B12 clarinet, which at the time became the most accessible clarinet in the Buffet catalogue.

To celebrate Buffet Crampon’s 200 Year Anniversary in 2025,  the company are proud to present the new generation of this iconic student clarinet - still highly affordable, while retaining the hallmark features that define the Buffet Crampon student range

The ABS body of the Buffet B12 makes it both lightweight and durable, providing excellent handling for younger players. Unlike grenadilla wood, ABS is highly resistant to changes in humidity, making it ideal for all-weather use without the risk of cracking. The nickel-plated nickel silver keywork offers a strong, hard-wearing mechanism, perfectly suited to frequent use and enthusiastic beginners.

The B12 is a great choice for learners of all ages looking to start on a clarinet that is easy to play, reliable and affordable. It’s also a solid option for more advanced musicians, amateurs, semi-professionals, or professionals looking for a reliable backup instrument.
