Buffet Crampon BC4052 (Late model Prodige) Conservatory Oboe c+3!
This instrument is lightly used and in excellent condition. It has been cleaned, tested, and is ready to play!
The oboe has a grenadilla wood body with heavy silver-plated mechanism. The wood body is sealed and the top joint has a luracrest liner for durability and to prevent cracking.
The oboe features a full conservatory system, including all the extra trills, lef F key, fresonance, low Bb resonance, articulated C#, and third octave key. It has a plateau D key.
The oboe looks great - cosmetically a 9.5+ out of 10. Very clean. It plays well with a huge sound! It comes in the original Buffet Crampon French case. The case shows some minor wear from use, but is in good, solid condition.
These are a popular choice as step-up instruments for advancing students. They also work well for beginners who want to learn with full keywork. The 4052 is also a great choice for doublers or teachers wanting a crack-resistant, reliable instrument will full keywork.
The current equivalent model Prodige retails for over $4,600. This is a great chance to save some money on a quality instrument!
The oboe is sold as-is, as described with no returns. Shipping inside US only via usps or UPS.
I’m a professional oboist and teacher trying to downsize and clear out my office. I have two of these 4052s for sale that I was using as loaners for students - both are listed for sale. Thanks!
