A Fun New option for early starters and keen enthusiasts!
The Buffet Crampon Prodige Pocket Clarinet offers a fun new option for both beginners and enthusiasts alike. The fully wooden body is in a simple style with a basic fingering arrangement akin to a recorder. Combined with a proper Bb Clarinet mouthpiece, this offers a simple and compact instrument for you to get to grips with the clarinet basics without having to commit to a fully fledged Bb model. For those who are already playing, it offers a fun alternative to playing the clarinet that you can easily fit inside a bag or suitcase for short trips or longer travels.
The instrument also has several practical design considerations, such as an adjustable thumb rest for comfort and a rubber coated bell for protection against damage. The tone holes have been well balanced to provide a good balance of intonation and evenness of sound whilst still remaining easy to play for small hands.
To really round ff the experience, you can go to Buffets website to access their learning method which includes instruction on playing the instrument as well as a suite of pieces to practice.
