Buffet Crampon 4052 Oboe

About this instrument

The Buffet Crampon 4052 is a proper intermediate oboe that bridges the gap between student instruments and full professional models. It is built for players who are serious about their development and want an instrument that will not hold them back. The tone is warm, resonant, and projects well, with the kind of stable intonation that lets you focus on music rather than constantly fighting pitch.

Here is what makes this particular instrument interesting. It was purchased about 15 years ago but played only once. That means the grenadilla wood has had years to season and stabilise without the stress of heavy use. It has been recently serviced, so everything is in proper working order. Condition is a strong 9 out of 10.

Case is included. This oboe has already been sold, but it is listed here as an example of the quality and value we deal in at BrassWind Exchange. If you are looking for something similar, get in touch and we can help.

Our comment

Bought 15 years ago and played exactly once, then sat in its case until it came to us. The grenadilla had years to stabilise without the stress of regular playing, and the previous owner had it serviced before consigning. The 4052 is the long step-up oboe that intermediate and university players settle on, and a barely-played one is a rare thing on the Malaysian market.
