Key Features
Product Ref: 395999
The Prodige shares its bore design with ideas developed from Buffet Crampon's respected E13 clarinet, giving beginners a playing experience that encourages good habits from the very beginning. The carefully machined bore promotes a balanced response and stable intonation throughout the instrument, helping you focus on developing technique rather than working around tuning inconsistencies. Its textured bore also improves airflow and response, making notes easier to produce while supporting steady progress as your confidence grows.
Founded in Paris in 1825, Buffet Crampon has spent nearly two centuries refining clarinet design for musicians at every level. The Prodige continues that tradition by bringing key manufacturing processes, including bore moulding and machining, to facilities in France and Germany, where consistent dimensions are carefully maintained. This approach allows beginner players to benefit from techniques developed through the company's long history, while keeping the instrument accessible for students and schools.
An ABS resin body makes the Prodige well suited to regular lessons, rehearsals, and practice sessions. It resists changes in temperature and humidity better than traditional wooden student instruments, making it a dependable choice for developing players. Silver-plated nickel silver keywork provides a smooth feel under your fingers, leather pads help create a reliable seal, and the adjustable thumb rest lets you find a comfortable playing position as you improve.
The Prodige includes a complete accessory package, so you can begin playing straight away. Inside the gig bag you'll find a mouthpiece, reed, ligature, mouthpiece cap, swab, cork grease, and even a pencil for lessons or marking sheet music. Whether you're starting school band, taking private tuition, or returning to music after a break, you'll have the essentials needed to keep your instrument protected and ready to play.
