The Buffet Crampon E11 Bb Clarinet is an intermediate wooden clarinet designed for advancing students ready to move beyond a plastic beginner instrument. Made in Buffet Crampon’s dedicated German workshops in Markneukirchen, the E11 combines traditional clarinet craftsmanship with student-friendly reliability. It features a grenadilla wood body, 17 keys and 6 rings, silver-plated keywork, double fish skin pads, and a fixed thumb rest. Buffet positions the E11 as a robust, easy-playing first wooden clarinet for developing musicians.
This is a strong choice for students who are ready for a warmer, more focused wood clarinet sound while still needing an instrument that can handle regular school band, lessons, rehearsals, and home practice. The E11 gives advancing players a more refined response and tone than a basic student clarinet, making it a good fit for honor band preparation, private lessons, and long-term musical growth.
