The best thing about the full boehm and (presumably) the BCXXI imo is that the long B is no long such a dreadful note since it now has a tone hole to resonate from instead of the end of the bell. I play on a full boehm instrument for this very reason.
Thank you does it sound and play like the old BC 21? Which was pre R13 you sound very clear and bright in your playing I don’t know how much of that is your mouthpiece and search up all the Clarinet itself I suspect that that low e flat. Thank you. Hope to give a try. Glad you are enjoying playing this new wonder machine. I’ve personally applied a pair of our 13 clients since 1970 they didn’t even silverplate them in those days but it has a great sound. It’s great to hear you play but I think if we are interested we need to try it and then it takes a lifetime to really get to know it. The Internet is great to go to snatch of what the instrument sounds like but you can’t beat a hands-on experience. Thank you for what you’re doing - Bill - UK
Thanks for the informative video. I’m in the market for a new pair of clarinets (I live in the uk though!) and am keen to try one of these. As there isn’t an A clarinet BC21, what in your opinion would be a good match (or are buffet planning to release the A version?) many thanks, Matt
Hi Matt - As far as I know, Buffet isn't planning to release a BCXXI A clarinet. Seeing as this is a slightly darker instrument, the Tradition A comes to mind as a good match. However, I haven't had a chance to do any side by side comparisons (yet).
@@riceclarinetworks thanks for the reply, yes I thought as much regarding the BCxxi A clarinet. Good call on the tradition. I’m planning to go and try a load of clarinets soon, so if I like the BCxxi, I’ll certainly give the tradition A a try.

No, it doesn't. Most professional instruments don't come with a mouthpiece, since it's understood that if you're playing at a higher level, you'll have your own mouthpiece preference that is unrelated to the clarinet. Most players will just use their current setup when transitioning to a new instrument.
Thanks for responding! I thought that it might be nice to have an original mouthpiece from BC (given the image they used on the box and the description about the use of third party mouthpiece and the tuning of the instrument they did)
Surprisingly, when too much cork grease is used it can make the corks fail sooner. I only use cork grease at the very first assembling of a new cork (these had been assembled at the factory for play-testing), as well as whenever things get too tight. But the clarinet went together smoothly, and cork grease wasn't necessary in this instance.
The lower register is so smooth and full. Amazing instrument!
That's a very nice sounding clarinet with that classical Buffet ring to it
I would love to hear how the throat Bb sounds using the clarion B + low Eb key, making it a “long” Bb.

This definitely plays differently than the BC20 clarinet because of the smaller lower joint bore and extended range. Thanks for watching!
Price is unreachable! Make a giveaway!😂

Does BC 21 come with its own mouth piece?
No, it doesn't. Most professional instruments don't come with a mouthpiece, since it's understood that if you're playing at a higher level, you'll have your own mouthpiece preference that is unrelated to the clarinet. Most players will just use their current setup when transitioning to a new instrument.

No cork grease for first demo ?

I only use cork grease at the very first assembling of a new cork (these had been assembled at the factory for play-testing), as well as whenever things get too tight.
