The product price includes 2 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.
However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.
Setting the new standard for young musicians. Boasting the full and warm tone that Buffet clarinets are known for, the Buffet E12F has become a trademark of student instruments.
It's the clarinet you can rely on to perform day-in, day-out. That reliability comes from the quality and consistency of the E12F's construction. Crafted from unstained African grenadilla wood and assembled by hand in France, the E12F has all the technical characteristics of a much more expensive instrument. Boasting leather pads, blue steel springs, and a silver plated mechanism, you know the E12F is built to last.
The Buffet E12F includes everything you need to start playing. It includes a mouthpiece, reed, ligature, and backpack style case so you can easily transport your new clarinet.
Product Ref: 41254
Buffet's research, development, and production teams all worked together to produce a high-quality student clarinet, for an affordable price. It was important to keep the professional qualities of the model, so Buffet worked hard to come up with a solution which could make this possible. The assembly of this model takes place in Buffet's German workshop in Markneukirchen. The key characteristics of the E12F are its reliability, accurate tuning, and easy playability.
Unlike similar student clarinets, the E12F features an African Blackwood (otherwise known as grenadilla) body. The wood has been treated with a clear varnish to prevent damage to the instrument. The benefit from this wood body is the unprecedented tone, which is favoured by all professional musicians and has been the chosen professional choice of wood for decades.
The Buffet E12F clarinet has a simple design featuring the standard 17 keys and 6 rings. All keywork is silver plated, which is long lasting and ergonomic, enabling ease of play for all clarinetists. This combined with an adjustable thumb rest, makes the E12F very nice to play. All tone holes have been undercut and combined with leather pads, creating a great seal with better intonation and tonal character.
Buffet have been manufacturing instruments since 1825 and are world famous for their clarinets. When purchasing Buffet instruments, you are guaranteed consistent high-quality as all products are made in French workshops. All workers start as apprentices to learn everything they need from highly skilled craftspeople. However, the most important skills are dedication, passion, and patience. Since the beginning, almost every Buffet instrument has been continuously tested and developed. Listening to their players' needs, Buffet has adapted their instruments to cope with modern demands.
Please note that wooden instruments are affected by humidity and temperature and as a result, the wood may expand and contract which would affect joints such as the tenons and bell rings. If you do experience any difficulties, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help.
