Buffet Crampon price increase announced

Author: m1964

Received an email from NYC woodwinds:
"Buffet Crampon has just announced a roughly 7% price increase across the board, effective November 1, 2025. This extends to all Buffet clarinets and saxes, Keilwerth saxes and Powell flutes...
New instruments will still be available at old pricing till the end of October. If we don’t have something available, we may also be able to order from Buffet’s available stock."

So, here is the final result of the new tariffs, on Buffet products.I would expect Selmer to have a similar price increase. Not sure about Yamaha.

m1964,

Something is wrong with the 7% price increase effective Nov. 1, 2025.

Trump imposed a 15% tariff on items from France back in August.

To me, this is simply Buffet raising their prices by 7% for whatever reason. After Nov. 1, 2025, buyers of new Buffet clarinets from NYC Woodwinds will have to pay Buffet's 7% price increase along with Trump's 15% tariff.

Below is an article about how the 15% tariff on French musical instruments is affecting their industry.
