Instruments

My first Buffet Crampon
The Prodige BC4062 oboe features important technical, aesthetic and acoustic improvements that will allow beginners and experienced enthusiasts to progress quickly.
An intense period of research and development has unfolded into an easy-to-play instrument that facilitates mastery of the most dif cult low register.
The Prodige oboe allows for smooth transitions from one octave to another. it helps students mastering sound output and controlling the air ow, which is so important in the first years of study.
Oboists will be highly satis ed by the acoustic homogeneity of this oboe, which sound comes very close to that of a professional instrument.
Manufactured in Buffet Crampon's German workshops, Prodige is not only reasonably priced but is also, quite simply, perfect for learning to play .

Each school of music has its own instrumental character. The German school favours a full and focused woody sound, while the French school of wind instruments cultivates vigour and fluidity, and beauty in the model.
Buffet Crampon has contributed in a material way to the creation of the modern clarinet and the founding of high-quality interpretation.
It has also played a preponderant role in developing teaching methods, accompanying an illustrious line of teachers that have graduated from the best music conservatories in the world.
The C12 and E13 clarinets were developed for most students who are preparing for a career as a professional musician and whose technical level has exceeded the quality of their first instrument. Made entirely in grenadilla wood, these clarinets give these musicians their first sensations as a soloist.
