“New concept , new perspectives for the future. BC XXI, by Buffet-Crampon.
Explore the new perspectives :Extended lower joint with a cylindrical bore, producing a deep and warm sound;A resonance vent, providing a low Eb, can be used for some repertoire (Busoni, Donatoni, , Menendez, Berio), and for the clarinetist transposing a A clarinet part;Bb long fingering, alternative to the throat note Bb, offering a very new perspective in all repertoire;Easy third register“
– By FlorentHau
“What is remarkable is the ease of playing, the fluidity and the equality between the registers. The result is a comfort of play, which allows a more free and natural expression. Thetone is powerful.
The second remarkable point is the color of the tone. The registers are very distinctive, the first register is warm and woody, powerful, the second register can be expressed with roundness and softness and the high notes remain broad and gentle.
The BC21 is very natural and moving.”
– By Maria Wong

Today,Buffet Crampon starts a revolution for the 21st century, one the Research and Development team has dreamed of for a very long time: a longer B-flat clarinet that pushes all boundaries.
Eric Baret and four testers, Buffet Crampon musicians Michel Arrignon, Nicolas Baldeyrou, Martin Frst, and Paul Meyer, are proud to present the BCXXI.
JUST IMAGINE
- The lower joint of a B-flat clarinet extended by several centimetres in which a strategically placed resonance vent makes it possible to produce low E-flat with a full and vibrant sound. Overall, the entire chalumeau register is greatly improved thanks to its limited flare in favour of a longer cylinder.
- A shorter bell that no longer determines the accuracy of the fundamental notes E/B and F/C but serves as a resonator for the entire clarinet.
- A surprisingly stable and easy high register, thanks in part to the elongated bottom joint.
- Athird fingering of Bbmiddle registerthat creates vibrations in the entire length of the instrument to produce a full and resonant sound. This new mechanism will also allow the musician to create new sequences without changing registers, or to revise certain fingerings used in the pieces of the repertoire.
- The balance of the left hand, especially G /C, D/A, have been greatly improved.
- A slightly raised tone hole on D allowing a more ergonomic positioning of the left-hand fingers by keeping them on the same horizontal plane.
- Enjoy rediscovering the repertoire that includes a low Eb and composed in A to Bb.
- Finally, imagineaweight equivalent to a traditional clarinetthanks to its shorter bell and carbon fibre rings.
