The Virtuose is the result of Buffet Crampon’s 190 years of craftmanship and constant search for innovation.
Our inspiration came from a Buffet Crampon oboe from 1890 with an unusually long upper joint.
Now, almost 130 years later, you can experience the Virtuose, an exceptional instrument which combines the best of tradition and technology.
Our craftsmen and engineers worked side by side with the world’s best oboe players to completely redesign the bore and tone holes, bringing you the best of Buffet Crampon’s acoustics and intonation.
