BUFFET CRAMPON
SINCE 1825
Buffet Crampon employees in 1880
I
In 1825 a French “luthier”, Denis Buffet, established his workshop in the heart of Paris. He
quickly became well-known in the music world for developing the excellent 13-key
clarinet. At that time, clarinets were entirely hand-made, which required extensive experience and
craftsmanship.
In 1830, Jean-Louis Buffet (Denis’ son) took over the business. He married Zoé Crampon in 1836,
and the famous Buffet Crampon brand name was created. The logo used today first appeared in 1844.
Louis-Auguste Buffet (Jean-Louis’ uncle) met the clarinettist Hyacinthe Klosé, a virtuoso musician
and a teacher, at the Paris conservatory. These two men, the technician and the artist, started working
together. They took the idea of movable rings, developed by the German Theobald Boehm for the flute,
and adapted it to the clarinet. First exhibited in 1839, and patented later in 1843, this new system was
The finishing workshop, 1930
very successful, and in order to meet demand, the Buffet Crampon factory was built in 1850 in Mantesla-Ville, west of Paris. As early as 1866, Buffet Crampon was producing its first saxophones, 20 years
after the invention of this instrument by the Belgian Adolphe Sax.
Buffet Crampon has received many awards for the quality of its instruments, notably in 1889 during the
Universal Exhibition in Paris.
Buffet Crampon became the exclusive supplier for the conservatory of Paris, the “Concerts Lamoureux”,
the famous Toscanini orchestra in New York. Soloists of the ‘Opéra de Paris’ and the ‘Opéra Comique’
preferred the instruments of Buffet Crampon over other brands.
In 1918, Buffet Crampon entered the American market and established its position as the leader in the
world of professional clarinets.
Bore finition
In 1921, a young beginner, Robert Carrée, was hired by the company. He was an extremely talented
acoustic technician, and developed the R13 clarinet in 1950 and the RC in 1975. These in turn led to the
creation of the Festival and Prestige professional models.
5
Louis-Auguste Buffet, 1862
The factory modernizes its workshops and has adopted modern technology, but remains
faithful to its original standards for quality.
In 1981, Buffet Crampon was bought by the famous music publisher, Boosey & Hawkes, of
London.
Buffet Crampon has always had a tradition of innovation. In 1994, a new material was created
and named Green Line. This innovative material is composed 95% of ebony powder and
5% of carbon fibre, eliminating the risk of cracking while maintaining the acoustic qualities of
wood. Today the
range is used worldwide by the greatest professional clarinet and oboe
players.
In 2003, Boosey & Hawkes separated from the cream of the crop in French wind instrument
manufacturing, to join The Music Group, and in 2005 Buffet Crampon again became
independent. In 2006, Buffet Crampon acquired two famous brass instrument brands,
Antoine Courtois Paris (created in 1803) and Besson (created in 1837). The company
became Groupe Buffet Crampon, with two subsidiaries, in the United States and Japan,
and in November 2007, it appointed Antoine Beaussant as new Chief Executive Officer.
Since its inception, the company has ranked first amongst clarinet manufacturers, owing to its
unrivalled expertise, innovative approach and modernised facilities, from which Buffet Crampon
oboes, bassoons, flutes and saxophones also benefit.
The tradition, the spirit of the company and the musicians accompaniment have been, since
1825, and are now more than ever the centre of the dynamic of Buffet Crampon.

he Vintage clarinet was designed in 1996 by René Lesieux, master
craftsman for over 40 years and responsible for instrument research and
development at BUFFET CRAMPON.
In creating the Vintage, BUFFET CRAMPON specially wanted to satisfy American
musicians, wishing to find the same features and sound that they had with their 1950’s
R13 clarinet. Today the Vintage has charmed many clarinettists over the world.
They choose the Vintage for its fluid, focused tone, its homogeneity in all registers,
and its easy response.

Musicians needs are constantly evolving and it seems only right that we should
grant clarinet players’ wishes by creating specialised models.
Each of these instruments has its own identity and can be used to play a variety of
styles. Each musician will find his or her own personal means of expression.

he great merit of the modern basset A clarinet, designed with the improved
Boehm system developed by BUFFET CRAMPON, is that it allows clarinettists
to play Mozart's Concerto and Quintet as Mozart himself would have
imagined them.
Anton Stadler, clarinet virtuoso and the friend to whom Mozart dedicated this Quintet for
clarinet and string quartet and the famous Concerto in A, is thought to be the inventor
of the basset A clarinet. Mozart already under the spell of the clarinet was no doubt
charmed by the range of the basset A clarinet, a third lower than an A clarinet, and its
especially warm, sweet tone.
