Buffet Crampon ClariMate

Buffet Crampon ClariMate – Digital Clarinet Mute & Hybrid Practice Tool

The Buffet Crampon ClariMate transforms any Bb or A Boehm-system clarinet into a versatile digital practice companion, letting you play silently through headphones while preserving the feel and response of your own instrument. Fitting between the barrel and mouthpiece, the ClariMate channels your breath through an integrated tube system, muting sound output while delivering digital, but realistic clarinet sound directly to your ears.

Beyond silent practice, the ClariMate functions as a reversible hybrid instrument, turning your clarinet into a MIDI-capable electronic wind instrument. Its built-in breath sensor and customizable fingering recognition adapt to the unique characteristics of your individual instrument through the companion app's Note Training feature, ensuring accurate note detection whether you're working through scales, etudes, or full repertoire.

Connect via Bluetooth or USB-C to stream audio, record into a DAW, or explore digital sound libraries—all while practicing on the clarinet you already know. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides hours of wireless use, and three interchangeable resistance plugs let you fine-tune the airflow feel to mimic traditional reed response.

Whether you're a student looking to practice late at night without disturbing roommates, or a professional exploring electronic and hybrid performance possibilities, the ClariMate offers a genuinely new way to engage with the clarinet.
