Looking for an instrument that plays like wood but has the durability of a composite? The new MAX Bb Clarinet is a true contender. This innovative instrument is made of 93% Grenadilla wood, with the remaining components being a composite of resin and carbon fiber. This unique construction gives you the best of both worlds: the rich, deep tone of a wooden clarinet with added strength and stability. If you're familiar with the Buffet "Greenline" series, you'll feel right at home with the MAX.

The MAX has a beautiful resonance that’s on par with a pure wood instrument, and its feel is incredibly comfortable.

Performance and Feel

The MAX has a **medium resistance** (5/10), offering a perfect balance between tonal flexibility and core stability. With its middle-of-the-road sound, the MAX is darker than the Alpha, giving you a beautiful, focused tone that holds its shape, even at louder dynamics.

Generally, a more resistant clarinet will keep its focus at louder dynamics but may have a smaller dynamic range and color palette. On the other hand, a less resistant clarinet provides a wider tonal palette but requires more player control to maintain consistent pitch and sound. The MAX gives you the best of both worlds.
