The Buffet ICON neck for bass clarinets, particularly the Prestige bore type, is known for its richer, rounder tone and added warmth to the overall sound, which is attributed to the red copper material. It’s designed to offer increased flexibility and easier dexterity when crossing intervals, which might explain the difference in feel you’ve noticed compared to the stock neck.
While I don’t have specific measurements of the ICON and stock necks, the ICON neck is reported to enhance the tone color, especially on lower notes, and improve playability. The register tubes’ size can affect the instrument’s response and intonation, but the exact specifications are typically proprietary to the manufacturer’s design.
For a detailed comparison, you might want to check out reviews and demonstrations by professional players who have tested these necks side by side. They often provide insights into the nuances between different necks, which could include measurements and the impact on sound and playability in Official Site.
If you’re looking for more technical details, reaching out to Buffet Crampon directly or consulting with a professional woodwind technician could provide you with the specific measurements and differences between the ICON and stock necks. They might also be able to explain how the red copper contributes to the distinct feel and sound you’re experiencing.
