Buffet Gala Bb Professional Clarinet - 1121-2

Following the creation of the Legend and Tradition clarinets in 2017, Buffet Crampon sought to produce a cutting-edge clarinet that exceeds musicians’ expectations in sound and construction. In 2020, the fruits of their labor manifested in the Gala clarinet. Made in France, the Gala professional Bb clarinet offers superb construction at an appealing price point. Unlike a standard conical bore, the Gala’s poly-cylindrical bore steps between two bore sizes, resulting in improved intonation as you move between notes. Crafted from seasoned grenadilla, stained to an eye-catching deep black, and populated with carefully forged and sculpted keywork, the Gala is a sight for sore eyes. Sonically, this professional-class clarinet boasts a rich, warm sound with a centered tone and ample projection. Features like black nickel-plated rings and wooden chimneys make this clarinet a step up from its predecessors; still, the Gala performs similarly to the Legend and Tradition models, from symphonies and chamber orchestras to jazz combos and pop ensembles. For these reasons, clarinetists at Sweetwater recommend auditioning Buffet Crampon’s Gala professional Bb clarinet!
