Buffet Crampon Prestige 4713 Series English Horn

The spirit of the Buffet Crampon english horn is the spitting image of that of the brand’s oboes: its acoustic qualities and precision of intonation fit the requirements of both orchestral and chamber music.

The distinctive tone of this Prestige model is all about woody roundness and delicacy. each note can be developed to its fullest, thanks to the comfort and the stability of the instrument. Its upper register is especially pure and comfortable to handle.

The new low B at removable extension, when positioned between the lower joint and the bell, allows to play both B and B at chromatically, thanks to an added B at spatula on the left hand. The extension and the bell are equipped with specially designed carbon ber rings that merge with the body of the instrument.
