The secret to the success of Buffet Crampon is matrimony (or marriage). The union of tradition and innovation at Buffet Crampon has been driven by the marriages of passions, companies and people since the nuptials of Buffet family scion, Jean-Louis Buffet and Zoé Crampon in 1836. Mergers and acquisitions with some of the world's finest music companies throughout their long history have always delivered the top quality products of the day. And in recent years the celebrated Tosca clarinet series was developed in partnerships with artists like Michael Arrignon, Romain Guyot, and many others.
The production of fine woodwinds and protection of the environment were forever forged at Buffet Crampon in 1991. Developing and utilizing alternative resources alongside the traditional and beautiful grenadilla wood has helped to preserve the population of the source tree, the African Blackwood. Most Buffet Crampon student clarinets are made from a lightweight, durable and easily maintained ABS resin, looking and sounding like the traditional instruments. And for the professionals, the R13 Greenline Series of clarinets and oboes marries carbon fiber technology with repurposed grenadilla wood. This “perfect wood” performs equally, withstands temperature swings and daily use without a bend or crack and uses no new grenadilla. A full grenadilla version of the world's most popular clarinet since the 1950's, the R13, is still available as is a full line of accessories.
