I'm a little (actually very) confused after looking at models of Eb clarinet on the musicgroup buffet website. It lists at RC Prestige Eb clarinet, also lists a Prestige clarinet available in Eb, D and C and says that this Presitge clarinet is available in R13, RC, and RC Prestige. Then when you click the regular R13 clarinet, it is available in Bb, A, Eb etc etc....but when you click RC clarinet it is only availble in Bb and A! The reason I am asking this is because I am trying to work out if they still make regular RC Eb clarinets. Anyone able to figure it out?

According to my Buffet Catalog, there are R13 Mi b (Eb) -page 6-; RC Mi b (Eb), -page 12 and 14, and RC Prestige Mib (Eb), D and C -page 12 and 14-
Also R13 in A and Bb, and RC in A and Bb, and RC prestige in A and Bb.
Hope this help

From the dealer confidential catalog, they are still listing the RC Eb, model BC1512-2.
Don't bother with the TMG website anymore. Go to www.buffet-crampon.com. All that should be on TMG now is Keilwerth, Besson and Schreiber.

So basically, they are listening the regular RC and R13 Eb clarinets under the "Eb, D, C" pages, and also the regular RC and R13 page... The weird thing is that the site lists the RC Prestige Eb and the Prestige Eb as being seperate, and has the RC and R13 regular Eb clarinets under the Prestige category.. Anyway..thanks guys

Yeah, it's strange why they list them like that - maybe there's some method in their madness.
