Buffet Crampon Model 4052 Intermediate Oboe
This Intermediate Oboe, Buffet Crampon Model 4052 Intermediate Oboe is a semi-automatic conservatory model that offers a high quality of sound and resonance. This Buffet Crampon oboe is ideal for the up and coming student who would like to graduate to a higher quality instrument. Made from special Grenadilla wood (also known as African Blackwood) rather than resin plastic (as is common with student flutes), this well-crafted instrument offers outstanding stability and tone. With woodwind instruments such as oboes, cracks can occur quite frequently, so it is important to purchase an oboe of high quality. The Buffet Crampon Oboe features a Luracast lined bore, which forestalls cracking and promotes excellent sound projection, making it ideal for the intermediate oboist.
Enjoy the professional French fingering and an especially ergonomic feel with the Eb, Double G#, D trill, left F-lever, double C# trill, and Bb resonance keys. The additional keys offer an extended range that will really impress the crowd at your next performance! The forged nickel silver key works with silver-plating offers high stability and a non-slip surface for intricate and quick fingering. The “semi-automatic” aspect of this intermediate oboe means that the second octave action closes the first octave action, which makes fingering much quicker and simpler. The Buffet Crampon features stainless pivot screws and steel rods which are non-corrosive and provide for excellent key action. These rods and screws make adjustments extremely secure and long lasting, meaning you will not have to fuss with them all that often. This is important to maintaining the tuning and ease of play for the instrument. In addition, holes are perfectly sealed air-tight by the fish skin pads on the upper joint and the cork pads on the lower joint. With its extended range, semi-automatic octave key action feature, overall high-quality key action, and sophisticated sealing, your Buffet Crampon Intermediate Oboe will ring true for all of your future performances.
The Buffet Crampon Company has a long history dating back to 1825 when Denis Buffet-Auger first opened his instrument workshop. The Buffet Crampon brand name was created in 1836 when Denis’ son, Jean-Louis Buffet had taken over the business and married Zoe Crampon. Since then, Buffet Crampon has been producing high-quality instruments and received many awards for its quality and craftsmanship, most notably during the 1889 Universal Exhibition in Paris. Though the company went through numerous mergers with other instrument manufacturers, Buffet Crampon models are still manufactured in the finest tradition of French instrument making. The same enthusiasm for quality instruments has lasted with the company since it’s founding in 1825 and continues to set Buffet Crampon apart through continuous advancements in technology and manufacturing.
