A Revival of Buffet Crampon Tradition in Saxophones
With the Série 400, Buffet Crampon reaffirms its expertise and manufacturing tradition applied to the saxophone, while offering an instrument positioned as "study and intermediate" that is particularly accomplished. This series follows a quality approach faithful to the brand's technical criteria and complements the professional Prestige line developed by Fabrice Moretti. The result: a tenor saxophone with a French design, crafted to provide a serious, durable, and musically inspiring playing experience.
For Which Musician and in Which Styles?
The Buffet Crampon Série 400 in tenor is aimed at saxophonists looking to take the next step: late second cycle, conservatory students, big band musicians, or highly committed amateurs seeking a reliable and expressive instrument. Its very good response in the low and high registers allows confident performance in both classical (intonation, homogeneity, stability) and jazz (projection, articulation, flexibility). It is a relevant choice for a musician who wants a versatile tenor ready to evolve with their playing.
Tone and Design
The Série 400 stands out for its very beautiful tone and excellent homogeneity : register transitions are smooth, with a sense of continuity and consistent sound production. The leather pads with metal resonators contribute to a clear response and stronger projection, useful both in ensembles and on stage. The presence of a wide neck facilitates access to low notes, providing a more stable and comfortable low register to control. Aesthetically, the hand engraving on key elements (bell, body, crook, etc.) enhances the "upper-range instrument" character while maintaining an elegant and traditional identity.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
If you often transport your instrument, the included hard backpack case already covers the essentials. For routine maintenance, a tenor saxophone swab (body + crook) and pads cleaning cloths/swabs can help preserve the mechanics and extend the pads' longevity.
