Who the RC Prestige Basset Clarinet Is For

A Buffet Crampon RC Prestige basset clarinet in A is a professional extended-range clarinet designed to play standard A-clarinet repertoire while adding a low-C basset extension for works that require notes below low E. It is for orchestral and chamber musicians, pit players, and clarinet specialists who want a single instrument that handles traditional A clarinet parts while also covering basset-clarinet literature without compromises in keywork integration.

The RC Prestige design is known for a focused, centered sound concept with clear articulation and the flexibility needed for modern orchestral playing. Within the low-clarinet category, the RC Prestige basset clarinet is distinguished by Buffet’s professional-grade build and an integrated basset mechanism that supports secure low-register response and consistent intonation across the extended range.

Common Questions About The Buffet Crampon RC Prestige

Is this a basset clarinet or a basset horn?

This is a basset clarinet in A, meaning it plays like an A clarinet but includes an extension to low C. A basset horn is typically in F and is a different instrument with different transposition and repertoire.

What music benefits from the low-C basset extension?

The low-C extension is used for basset-clarinet repertoire and is commonly sought for historically informed performances of works associated with Mozart’s clarinet writing, as well as selected orchestral and contemporary works that descend below standard A-clarinet range.

Is this suitable for professional orchestra use?

Yes. The RC Prestige line is built for professional performance, and this specific instrument has been serviced, set up, and play-tested so it can be taken directly into rehearsal and performance contexts.

Good quality, but a few issues with the hidden mounts and levelness.

These are quite nice and also sturdy. Only complaint I have is that I bought a couple of these, and on one of them, only one of them, it was difficult to get the hidden mounts to go into the holes. I think it was probably a manufacturing defect thing. Also, on that particular one, it wasnt as level as the other. Not a show stopper, but if you need a perfectly level type of mounting situation, I would be careful here.
