Ann Arbor Clarinet Connection

Welcome to the Ann Arbor Clarinet Connection, an Authorized Buffet Crampon Professional Dealer. It's hard to believe but 2018 is our 10th Anniversary of providing hand-selected Buffet Crampon clarinets to a discerning clientele. To all of you who have placed your trust in us, thank you! Our core philosophy remains in place: to stock Buffet Crampon clarinets that provide our clients with instruments that not only exhibit desired traits of evenness of scale, superior intonation, and richness of tone, but also provide personality, the ability to create and manipulate tonal colors. To that end, we stock a wide variety of Buffet models, and on restocking trips to the Buffet Crampon factory outside of Paris and to the Buffet Group USA headquarters in Jacksonville, FL are most interested in finding clarinets with personality regardless of model. This service is provided to you at no extra charge.

In addition, all professional model Buffet Crampon clarinets that A2C2 sells can be set-up in-house for a nominal charge. This set-up includes an upgrade to cork pads and Buffet Custom GT pads on R13 models, or to cork pads on the upper joint of Tradition, Festival, RC, R13 Prestige, and RC Prestige models.  Spring tensions and key heights are regulated on all instruments. All sales include Buffet Crampon's Warranty Policies. Trade-ins are welcomed. 

We returned from our 2nd restocking trip to the Buffet Crampon factory in Mantes-la-Ville, France in late May. We had another memorable time visiting the factory, and picked up some wonderful instruments, including Legendes, RC Prestiges, R13 Prestiges, Festivals, and Traditions. Please be in touch if you are interested in any of these.

Our next restocking trip will be to Jacksonville October 22 and 23. If you are looking for something specific please be in touch before then and we will do our best to find you a great clarinet!

We offer a range of professional clarinet repairs and adjustments at a reasonable bench rate. Repads can be done in cork, synthetic, or Buffet Crampon leather pads. New instruments purchased through us are protected from mechanical issues under warranty (durations vary), and we are capable of fixing most any problem that may arise.
