Description
The Buffet Festival provides a great value in the professional Buffet clarinet lineup. Based on the bore of the legendary R13, the Festival has a slightly smaller and very warm sound. Compared to the R13, It includes 2 barrels (65 & 66mm) as well as upgraded with left hand Eb lever and metal tenon caps.
This model is also available in “Green-Line” material. Green-Line material has the same tonal performance as wood. It is made from Grenadilla powder (95%) and carbon fiber. The Grenadilla powder is obtained by crushing smaller left over pieces of Grenadilla into the dust. This helps eliminate wood that is otherwise wasted. The 2 materials are then pressure formed into the new Green-Line material. There are many benefits to this material. Foremost is the fact that the Green-Line material is stable and does not warp or shift with climate. The material also eliminates the risk of traditional cracks.
