Buffet Crampon

Buffet Crampon is a French musical-instrument manufacturer and the namesake of an international group specializing in wind instruments. Founded in Paris in 1825 by Denis Buffet-Auger, the company developed from a clarinet workshop into one of the most important surviving names in European instrument making. Its headquarters and principal French production base are in Mantes-la-Ville, where the business has been established since 1850. The Buffet Crampon name is particularly associated with French, or Boehm-system, clarinets and is widely used by professional players, orchestras, conservatories and music schools. The brand’s historical importance rests on a combination of craftsmanship, acoustic experimentation and long-term model development. Its professional clarinet portfolio has included the R13, RC, Tosca, Divine, Légende, Tradition, Gala and BCXXI families, together with student and intermediate models such as Prodige, E11, E12F and E13. The company generally differentiates its ranges by construction, response and price: student instruments may use ABS resin, while many intermediate and professional clarinets use grenadilla or other selected woods. Special configurations have included Greenline composite construction, extended keywork and premium plated fittings. Buffet Crampon also produces or markets other woodwind instruments, including oboes, English horns, bassoons and saxophones. From the late nineteenth century onward, the company expanded beyond its core name through acquisitions and associated labels. In 1877 it acquired Evette & Schaeffer, using Evette and Evette & Schaeffer for lower-priced and intermediate clarinets for much of the twentieth century. The company also developed a substantial saxophone business, including the Apogee, Dynaction, Super Dynaction and S-series instruments. Competitive pressure from Yamaha and lower-cost European and Asian manufacturers weakened its student and professional saxophone positions during the late twentieth century, leading Buffet Crampon to withdraw from much of the saxophone market before later returning with selected models. The modern group was built through ownership changes and a series of acquisitions. Buffet Crampon joined Boosey & Hawkes in 1981, moved through The Music Group in 2003, and was separated into a French-owned Buffet Group structure in 2005. The group acquired Antoine Courtois and Besson in 2006, the former Leblanc clarinet facility in 2008, W. Schreiber and Julius Keilwerth in 2010, and B&S and related German brass brands in 2012. These transactions transformed the company from a primarily woodwind-focused manufacturer into a multi-brand wind-instrument group covering clarinets, saxophones, double reeds, flutes, trumpets, trombones, horns, euphoniums, tubas and related instruments. The portfolio later expanded through Powell Flutes, Parmenon and Rigoutat, as well as Bergerault in percussion. The group’s current brand architecture includes Buffet Crampon, Besson, Antoine Courtois, Rigoutat, Parmenon, Verne Q. Powell, B&S, Hans Hoyer, J. Scherzer, Melton Meinl Weston, W. Schreiber and Julius Keilwerth, with Bergerault also added to the broader group portfolio. Manufacturing and development are distributed across France, Germany, China and the United States. Mantes-la-Ville remains associated with professional French clarinets, oboes and bassoons; Markneukirchen is a major center for brass and German-system woodwinds; Geretsried supports low-brass production and research; Chinese facilities support beginner and student instruments; and Powell production is based in Massachusetts. Buffet Crampon is positioned at the premium end of the wind-instrument market while maintaining student and intermediate ranges. Its brand promise combines French and German craft traditions, artist collaboration, repair and after-sales support, and continuing acoustic and manufacturing innovation. The company states that its products are sold internationally through subs…

Buffet Crampon traces its origins to 1825, when Denis Buffet-Auger established a Paris workshop producing clarinets. The enterprise belonged to the wider Buffet family of French instrument makers, but the later Buffet Crampon business should be distinguished from the separate workshop of Auguste Buffet jeune, who collaborated with Hyacinthe Klosé in the development of the Boehm-system clarinet. Denis’s son Jean-Louis Buffet joined the family enterprise and married Zoé Crampon in 1836. Their partnership gave the company the combined name Buffet Crampon, which became the enduring commercial identity. The company moved its principal manufacturing base to Mantes-la-Ville in 1850. This location, in the Yvelines department west of Paris, became central to the firm’s French production tradition. During the nineteenth century Buffet Crampon broadened its output and developed a reputation for precision manufacture. It began producing saxophones in 1866, only a few decades after Adolphe Sax’s invention, and accumulated recognition through exhibitions and technical improvements. In 1877, the company acquired Evette & Schaeffer and subsequently used the Evette and Evette & Schaeffer names for parts of its clarinet and saxophone ranges. The business continued to innovate in the early twentieth century. In 1887 it obtained a patent connected with saxophone keywork and the extension of the instrument’s lower range. It began exporting to the United States in 1908. In 1910, the Apogee premium saxophone embodied the company’s emphasis on advanced keywork and high-end design. From 1918, the company increasingly separated its brand architecture by selling premium instruments under Buffet Crampon while using Evette and Evette & Schaeffer for more accessible lines. During the 1930s, some Evette & Schaeffer production was outsourced, reflecting the changing economics of instrument manufacturing. After the Second World War, clarinets became the company’s defining strength. The R13, introduced in 1950, became one of the most influential professional clarinet models in the modern market and established a platform for later professional families. The same year, Buffet Crampon also introduced the Dynaction saxophone. The Dynaction evolved into the Super Dynaction in 1957 and the S series in 1973. Alongside its own products, the company was an important European distributor of student-grade instruments, including saxophones made in France and Italy and sold under the Evette & Schaeffer name. The late 1970s and 1980s brought a major competitive setback in saxophones and student instruments. Yamaha combined broad distribution, modernized designs and competitive pricing, while manufacturers from East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Asia exerted additional cost pressure. Buffet Crampon’s position in student saxophones declined, followed by weakness in professional saxophones. The company exited much of the saxophone market in the mid-1980s. Around the same period, the Evette and Evette & Schaeffer clarinet labels were phased out, and the Buffet name was applied across the clarinet range. This simplified the brand architecture and concentrated the company’s reputation around its flagship name. Ownership and corporate structure changed substantially in the following decades. Buffet Crampon joined Boosey & Hawkes in 1981. The business was later sold to The Music Group in 2003 and then acquired in 2005 by a French investment group, which created Buffet Group Wind Instruments SAS while retaining Buffet Crampon as the principal commercial brand. The group used acquisitions to diversify beyond clarinets. Antoine Courtois and Besson were acquired in 2006, bringing established French and British brass traditions into the portfolio. The former Leblanc clarinet facility in La Couture-Boussey was acquired in 2008. A further phase of consolidation began in Germany. In 2010, Buffet Crampon Deutschland GmbH acquired the Markneukirchen facility and the W. Schreiber and Julius Keilwerth brands from the insolvent Schreiber & Keilwerth company. W. Schreiber contributed German-system clarinets and bassoons, while Julius Keilwerth contributed saxophones. In 2012, Buffet Crampon Deutschland acquired B&S GmbH and integrated brands including B&S, Hans Hoyer, Melton Meinl Weston and J. Scherzer. These deals greatly expanded the group’s brass capabilities and gave it a broader manufacturing footprint in the Vogtland region. Trail Capital and affiliated investment entities became shareholders in 2012. Jérôme Perrod was appointed to lead the group in 2014. The group then accelerated its international and product strategy. In 2015, it established a Chinese subsidiary and began developing local production for student brass instruments. In early 2016, Buffet Group Wind Instruments SAS adopted the legal name Buffet Crampon SAS. The group also expanded its flute activities through Powell Flutes in 2016 and Parmenon in 2019, adding specialist American and French flute-making expertise. Rigoutat, a French oboe manufacturer, joined the group in January 2019. Product development remained central to the flagship brand. The Tosca professional clarinet line was launched in 2004, followed by later professional models such as Divine, Légende, Tradition and Gala. Student and intermediate families including Prodige, E11, E12F and E13 broadened access to the Buffet Crampon name. The BCXXI, introduced in 2021, represented a new high-end clarinet design built around revised dimensions and acoustic objectives. In double reeds, the Hybride oboe was introduced in 2024 as a product combining traditional acoustic concepts with newer design approaches. The group’s physical network expanded in China during 2020 with a new manufacturing facility near Shanghai and a Beijing showroom. Its broader production system now spans French, German, American and Chinese sites, with the location and level of production varying by brand, instrument family and market segment. The group also operates international sales companies and showrooms, supporting musicians with fitting, demonstration, repair and after-sales services. In 2023, Buffet Crampon announced digital passports for high-end instruments in collaboration with Arianee, linking instruments to product information and customer services. In 2024, the group acquired Bergerault, extending its portfolio into percussion. Later that year, Alcopa, a Belgian family investment company, acquired Buffet Crampon from Trail Capital and became the majority owner alongside management. In 2025, the Buffet Crampon brand celebrated its 200th anniversary. The anniversary framed the company’s continuing strategy: preserve specialist craft knowledge and established brand identities while investing in new products, international distribution, digital services and additional categories of musical instruments.
