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.

I love this product
Color: Medium
I love this product. Best tinted moisturizer I've ever used. My low star rating is for the product container. On this tube (and the last one I ordered as well) the top separates from the base. When this happens, I can't pump the product out. I have to fiddle around with it quite a bit to get it reattached and then fiddle around some more to get it pumping again. At the price of this product, this issue should really be addressed. I can't believe I'm the only one who is dealing with this. Especially since the last two tubes performed in the same way.

SO GOOD
Color: Light
This product is so velvety and goes onto the skin so nicely. As per usual, it feels like natural skin but it has great coverage -- I was pleasantly surprised. I don't know what Colorscience does, but they have the magic. I am a forever customer of all of their products. It's a plus that their products are good for the skin AND have SPF as well.

Holy grail of tinted spf
Color: Light
I’ve tried numerous brands that I won’t mention but at least 20…. and this little tube of tint was my answer. I have very light skin and every other brand has a light shade that isn’t light enough or is too yellow or orange. Well the tint du soliel in light is the perfect answer to my fair pink undertone skin. It is the most beautiful consistency and I apply it with a beauty blender (yes I lose some product with the blender method - but the final result is an EVEN beautiful light and natural tint that literally looks like skin itself- absolutely no streaking or cakiness). It was remarkably easy to blend and immediately set to its beautiful satin finish. I’m just floored at how good my face looks. It’s very pricey at $60 for just 1.0 oz, but with this formula and aesthetic, it is absolutely worth it. I just ordered another one even though I’m not even half way through my first bottle! I’m a fan for life. Try this tint du soleil!!!!

Amazing Sunscreen! Large Bottle and Pump is Great!
Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sport Lotion SPF 50, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sport Lotion SPF 50
I’ve been buying this Banana Boat sunscreen with SPF50 for a while and I wish I found it years ago because it makes putting on sunscreen so easy. Been buying it for family members as well! The pump is amazing—I keep one in my bathroom and one in my bedroom so I never forget. It’s a really big bottle so it lasts a long time, and it spreads super easily with no white cast at all, even on my face. The scent is really light and neutral too, which I love. It just melts into your skin, doesn’t feel sticky, and works for everything—face, hands, arms, legs. It’s one of those products you actually end up using every day because it’s so easy and convenient. I keep repurchasing it for a reason! Highly recommend!

My AmazonFinds/ SPF 50 Sunscreen
Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sport Lotion SPF 50, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Sport Lotion SPF 50
I’ve been using this Banana Boat Sport SPF 50 sunscreen and I really like it. It goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly without feeling too greasy or heavy on the skin. I also like that it’s water and sweat resistant, which makes it perfect for outdoor activities or beach days. It provides strong sun protection and I feel confident using it when I’m out in the sun for long periods. The scent is light and not overpowering. Overall, it’s a reliable sunscreen that I would definitely buy again.
