Prestige
The Prestige Oboe project began in 1988, when luthier René Lesieux and musician Jean-louis Capezzali decided to make a clean sweep of the past and completely recreate the oboe at Buffet Crampon. Launched in 1992, the Prestige Oboe quickly established itself as an anthology model.
Tradition
For more than 30 years now, the qualities of the Buffet Crampon Prestige Oboe have been acclaimed throughout the world. This instrument is distinguished by a frank and assertive character which allows the musician, whatever the school from which he comes, to approach all repertoires, whether in the orchestra, in chamber music or as a soloist.
Prestige oboes are available in semi-automatic and automatic versions.
