Built on Buffet Crampon heritage

Buffet Crampon has been producing professional woodwind instruments since the 1800s, earning a strong reputation among players, teachers, and orchestras worldwide. The 100 Series takes that experience and applies it to a student-focused saxophone that feels approachable and reliable. For beginners, that matters. A well-built instrument can make learning easier, helping you focus on developing embouchure, breathing, and finger technique instead of fighting against inconsistent response. And because it’s made in France, the 100 Series continues the craftsmanship traditions closely associated with the Buffet Crampon name.

Comfortable response for new players

Starting saxophone can feel challenging at first, especially when developing breath control and finger coordination together. The 100 Series is designed to ease that process with a free-blowing response and stable intonation across the instrument. Notes speak clearly with less effort, helping you build confidence during lessons and practice sessions. The centred tone also gives your playing a balanced character that works well in school bands, ensembles, and solo practice. As your technique improves, the high F# key gives you extra range to explore more advanced music without needing to upgrade immediately.

Everything you need to get started

Getting set up as a beginner is much simpler when the essentials are included. Buffet Crampon supplies the 100 Series with a practical accessory pack so you can start playing sooner. Inside the case, you’ll find a mouthpiece, reed, ligature, cap, strap, swab, cork grease, cleaning cloth, and even a pencil for marking lesson notes. It’s a useful setup for students heading to school rehearsals or weekly lessons, and it also saves you the hassle of sourcing separate accessories before your first practice session.

Designed for reliable everyday playing

The lacquered brass body gives the 100 Series a traditional look while helping the instrument stand up to regular use. Leather pads with metal resonators provide dependable sealing and responsive action across the keys, supporting smoother note transitions as you develop technique. Buffet Crampon has also kept the layout straightforward and comfortable for smaller or inexperienced hands. That practical design makes longer practice sessions feel more manageable, whether you’re learning scales at home or preparing for your first ensemble performance.
