Buffet Crampon LGENDE Oboe

After the launch of the Virtuose professional oboe in 2016, Buffet Crampon innovates again by launching the Lgende.

This new model is complimentary to the Buffet Crampon professional oboe family for its qualities of accuracy, flexibility, centered tone and projection. The Lgende offers a new warmth and broadness of sound throughout the entire instrument. Particular attention has been paid to the acoustic quality, the harmonic spectrum, the ease of response, and depth of sound.

The Lgende benefits from Green LinE technology, featuring GL tone inserts to reduce the risk of cracks, which allows the oboist to play with confidence at all times.

With the widest flexibility and room for growth, this oboe is suitable for both an advanced oboist and a student wishing to progress to his first professional instrument. All players will be impressed with its responsive and warm character.

In addition to the acoustic innovations, the refined design has been applied to the smallest detail. The Lgende is part of the new Buffet Crampon aesthetic concept combining pink gold and silver in the Grand Sicle style: A rare and recognizable elegance among wind instruments!

A wonderful combination of the familiar tonal characteristics of the Buffet Crampon brand and unique musical expression, the Lgende embraces and highlights the personality of the oboist.
