Hyson Music is an authorized dealer of the Buffet-Group’s products. We are glad to see Buffet has eliminated the confusion between the older models.” said Hyson Music vice president Justin Varuzzo. “We expect the new model will help customers differentiate between the classic E11 and the new E12F model. The design, key layout, case, and everything else is virtually identical. The only difference we noticed between the E11 France and the new E12F was a slightly improved design where the posts are screwed into the body as opposed to glued. It includes the same backpack style case as the E11 France and also comes packaged with a reed, pencil, swab, mouthpiece, ligature, and silver-plated mouthpiece cap. It is virtually indistinguishable from the now discontinued E11 France instrument. It features a granadilla wood body with silver plated keys. The E12F is made in Germany in the same factory that produces the E11. The new semi-professional clarinet sits a model above the popular E11 (BC2501N-5-0), and a step below models such as the R13 professional series, or the Buffet Limite (formerly known as the E13). We expect to have the new clarinet in stock by mid-February of 2013. The official model of this clarinet is BC2512F-2-0 and Hyson Music will be adding this instrument to our line-up.
