History

Buffet-Crampon the woodwind instrument maker was founded by Jean-Louis Buffet in 1836. Although it is not mentioned on their web page, the company, like Rudall, Carte in London, published sheet music for its instruments. It took over the catalog of the military band publisher P. Goumas (founded 1854) in the 1870s and Evette & Schaeffer in 1885. Publishing stopped in 1939.

The 1898 catalog features about 200 works, by Louis Adolphe Mayeur and Jules Pillevestre for various woodwinds, Hyacinthe Eléonore Klosé for clarinet, Leon Fontbonne and Jean-Louis Tulou for flute, Eugene Jancourt for bassoon and Louis Adolphe Mayeur for saxophone.
