The 400 Series is designed for the advanced student through to the professional saxophonist, offering a refined level of craftsmanship, responsiveness, and tonal depth that supports serious musical development and performance.
Each instrument is meticulously assembled and features detailed hand engraving across the key cups, bell, bow, body, and neck - reflecting Buffet Crampon’s tradition of fine instrument making. The result is a saxophone that not only performs at a high level but also carries a distinctive visual elegance.
Engineered for expressive flexibility, the 400 Series delivers excellent response across both upper and lower registers, with a focused, even tone and reliable intonation throughout. The inclusion of keywork extending to high F# provides additional technical range required for advanced repertoire and performance settings.
Constructed using ribbed body architecture and reinforced double arms on low C, B, and Bb, the instrument offers enhanced stability, durability, and mechanical precision. Simulated mother-of-pearl key touches provide a comfortable and secure playing surface, supporting long practice and performance sessions.
