The wood version expands the acoustic range while maintaining a balance of register, pitch and mechanics. This instrument marks an important milestone in the history of the Buffet Crampon brand on both a human and technological level. It is a true reflection of the alliance between the legacy of French lutherie, the close relationship between Buffet Crampon and great musicians around the world, and cutting-edge technology for the benefit of all.
