Buffet Crampon Prodige Student Bb Clarinet
Overview
The Buffet Crampon Prodige is a student Bb clarinet that brings the Buffet name and design philosophy to the entry-level market, offering beginning clarinetists an instrument crafted with significantly more care and attention than generic student clarinets. The ABS resin body is designed to mimic the acoustic properties of wood as closely as possible, with a specially formulated polymer that produces a warmer, more resonant tone than standard ABS materials. The result is a student clarinet that sounds noticeably more musical and refined than its competitors. The silver-plated keys feature Buffet's ergonomic key design, with comfortable spacing and moderate spring tension that young players find approachable. The adjustable thumb rest and ergonomic register key facilitate proper hand position from the earliest lessons. Intonation is reliable across all registers, which is essential for developing proper pitch awareness. The instrument responds well to the Buffet student mouthpiece and standard student reeds, and the overall setup is designed to produce easy, comfortable tone production for beginning embouchures. The included case is lightweight and practical for daily school use. This is an excellent choice for beginning band students who want a Buffet-quality student instrument. The ABS body, while superior to most competitors, still lacks the tonal warmth and resonance of wooden instruments at higher levels.
