Buffet Crampon is a French manufacturer of woodwind musical instruments, including oboes, flutes, saxophones, English horns and bassoons; however, the company is perhaps most famous for their clarinets, as Buffet is the brand of choice for many professionals. 

Buffet Crampon began manufacturing musical instruments in 1825 exclusively in France, but has since expanded their business to include production facilities in Germany and China as well. Since the company's conception, Buffet Crampon has expanded to a worldwide market.
