Buffet Divine - Bb Clarinet (642914)

Product Information

A well-presented pre-owned Buffet Divine Bb Clarinet that has been well cared for and maintained. This instrument is one of the premium top models available in the highly regarded Buffet professional clarinet range.

This model is the result of extensive research and testing with internationally renowned clarinettists the BC1160L-2-0 Buffet Divine clarinet is at the pinnacle of clarinet design.

Utilising the same tone hole placement as the popular Buffet Tosca, the new Divine is really more from the RC family of poly-cylindrical bore design. Various modifications in the bore have been made to enable a totally smooth transition between registers and an even scale across the whole range.

There are some exterior technical improvements as well including tone hole slots made from the Buffet Greenline material so as to avoid cracking or air leaks. You will also spot the standard metal rings on the joints have been replaced, these are now produced with a carbon wire which also helps the clarinet lose 60g in weight which can be felt in the flexibility of tone.

Interestingly, Buffet have also used synthetic cork on the tenon joints, these should require no lubrication and should be less prone to needing replacing.

The Divine clarinet comes with 2 barrels, 66mm and 65mm so you have room to breathe in challenging tuning situations, the padding is a mix of Gore-Tex and cork which disable the usual stuffy notes and ensure a clean sound. It also benefits from the low F correction key, as on the Tosca.
