Brand

Paul Evette and Ernest Schaeffer bought the Buffet-Crampon firm in 1885 and patented their first saxophone on July 25, 1887 (December 5, 1899 in the US). These instruments are significantly different than earlier models and are possibly the most technically advanced of any French-made saxophones produced at the time. This soprano dates from the first years of the company.

Type

This soprano still has two separated register keys. So the normally automatic switch using the G key has to be done by hand.
