Just an addition.... I went to the website of www.schreiber-harmony.com and read about the history at this link: http://www.buffet-crampon.com/en/history.php Toward the bottom I came across this piece:
"Through these three brands, Buffet Crampon, Antoine Courtois and Besson, the Group is present in the woodwinds sector (clarinets, bass clarinets, oboes, bassoons, saxophones) and brass instruments (trumpets, cornets, flugelhorns, trombones, French horns, tenor horns, baritones, euphoniums, tubas, saxhorns). The BUFFET CRAMPON professional models are manufactured in the finest tradition of French instrument making, in the historical site in Mantes-la-Ville, in France. The Group's 2007 turnover was 60 million euros, 90% of which was from exports, representing growth of 18% over 2005. Groupe Buffet Crampon is determined to confirm its place in the luxury range by calling on the tradition of French instrument manufacturing and the « Made in France » reputation, as have the best-known luxury brands On a parallel level, the industrial partners in Germany, India and China are being developed to manufacture student instruments.
The tradition, the spirit of the company and the musicians accompaniment have been, since 1825, and are now more than ever the centre of the dynamic of the Groupe Buffet Crampon."
Now, they are saying that they ahve partenered in Germany, India and .... CHINA. Which begs to ask if there might be Buffet Crampon "student" models made in China?
