Pre-owned by Dr. Ron Odrich
Featured in the recording of the album “Visions”

This Buffet Crampon Elite Clarinet (Serial No. 358943) stands as a rare fusion of exquisite French craftsmanship and musical legacy. Previously owned and performed by Dr. Ron Odrich—a celebrated jazz clarinetist, educator, and recording artist—this clarinet was prominently featured on his acclaimed CD “Visions.”

The Buffet Elite series was introduced in the 1990s as a high-end, limited-production line designed to achieve the ideal balance between tonal warmth and technical precision. Each instrument is meticulously crafted from carefully selected grenadilla wood, featuring silver-plated keywork, hand-finished tone holes, and Buffet’s unique complex bore design for exceptional control and projection.

Under Dr. Odrich’s artistry, this clarinet became a true voice of expression—rich, fluid, and deeply resonant. Its sound can be heard shaping the lyrical and emotional depth of “Visions,” making it not only a top-tier performance instrument but also a piece of recorded musical history.

Lovingly maintained and artist-inspected, this clarinet remains in excellent condition for both professional performance and serious collection.

Every note I played through it carries with it a memory—of long hours of practice, the thrill of stepping onto the stage, and the joy of making music with others. It has been more than just an instrument; it has been a trusted partner, always ready to respond to my breath and imagination.

Although I have taken care to preserve it with great attention—regular cleaning, safe storage, and thoughtful handling—I believe that before it sings again on stage, it deserves the expert hands of a professional repairman for a thorough check-up. Instruments, like people, need care to keep their voices strong, and I want to ensure that this clarinet will be ready to perform at its best for whoever takes it forward.

These days, I find myself saddened to see this wonderful clarinet sitting quietly in my den, gathering dust when its natural place is not in storage, but on stage—where it was meant to live, breathe, and shine. An R13 of this character was born for music, not silence.

It is my sincere wish to pass it on to a new musician who will bring it back into the light of performance. I would be honored to see it return to the stage, continuing its story in the hands of another artist, creating new memories and sharing its voice with audiences once again..

My high school band director put me in touch with a private clarinet teacher for lessons. Her name was Mary Beth Skaggs, who was a student of Robert Marcellus at the time at Northwestern University in Chicago, and she helped me buy it.

This clarinet got me through many milestones:

✦ It got me into Charlie Neidich’s studio at the Eastman School of Music for my undergraduate studies.

✦ Then into David Shifrin’s studio at the Yale School of Music for my Masters degree.

I also won many competitions with it:

✦ 1st Prize-International Clarinet Association Young Artist competition

✦ Winner-St. Louis Symphony Young Artist Competition

✦ Winner-Music Academy of the West Concerto Competition

And this clarinet has toured the world with me as part of the 1990 American-Soviet Youth Orchestra World Tour and also to Japan with the Eastman Wind Ensemble.
