This model features an inverse taper in the barrel and less undercutting and slightly smaller size of the tone holes compared to those in R13, to give it a more focused, sweeter and mellower sound.


Both joints are stamped with the same serial number 1403XX, which indicates the year of manufacture to be 1973, during the Buffet ‘Golden Era’.The ‘S-1’ model was the top of the line professional clarinets offered by Buffet Crampon as an alternative to their R13. For sale: a rare, beautifully restored vintage French-made Buffet professional S-1 wood clarinet.
