These in turn led to the creation of the Festival and Prestige professional models. He was an extremely talented acoustic technician and developed the R13 clarinet in 1950 and the RC clarinet in 1975. In 1921, a young beginner, Robert Carrée, was hired by the company. In 1918, Buffet Crampon entered the American market and established its position as the leader in the world of professional clarinets. As early as 1866, Buffet Crampon was producing its first saxophones, 20 years after the invention of this instrument by the Belgian Adolphe Sax.īuffet Crampon has received many awards for the quality of its instruments, notably in 1889 during the Universal Exhibition in Paris. First exhibited in 1839, this new system was very successful and in order to meet the demand, the Buffet Crampon factory was built in 1850 in Mantes-la-Ville. They took the idea of movable rings which the German Theobald Boehm has developed for the flute and adapted it for the clarinet. These two men, the technician and the artist, worked together. Louis-Auguste Buffet (Jean-Louis' uncle) met the clarinettist Hyacinthe Klosé, a virtuoso musician and a teacher at the Paris Conservatory. The logo used today first appeared in 1844. He married Zoé Crampon in 1836 and so the famous Buffet Crampon brand name was created. In 1830, Jean-Louis Buffet (Denis' son) took over the business. At that time, clarinets were entirely hand-made, which required a wealth of experience and craftsmanship. He quickly became well-known in the music world for developing of the excellent 13-key clarinet. In 1825 a French "luthier", Denis Buffet-Auger, established his workshop right in the heart of Paris.
