Buffet Crampon USA, North American distributor for Buffet Crampon Group Wind Instruments, announces the launch of the Band Instrument Buyers Guide, a website designed to aid consumers in selecting beginning band instruments for students of all ages. The site helps parents, students and music educators become more educated about the different beginning band instrument choices, highlighted by student models from Buffet Crampon Group’s woodwind and brass brands.

The Band Instrument Buyers Guide website is designed to make parents’ and students’ first venture into the wind instrument world fun and easy to understand, and features the most prominent beginning band instruments, with each instrument receiving its own dedicated page on the site: flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, and trombone. Educational videos are available on each page, highlighting the key features and technical designs for each instrument in a clear format that is easy to follow.
The content and design of the Band Instrument Buyers Guide was spearheaded by Paula Corley, a lifelong music education pedagogue and Buffet Crampon Clarinet Artist, who joined Buffet Crampon USA in 2021 as Education Advisor, North America, after a distinguished career in higher education. Working with the Buffet Crampon USA marketing team in Jacksonville, Florida, the content and design of the site was created with an emphasis on clarity and helpful information for first-time instrument customers, as well as music educators. “The Band Instrument Buyers Guide is for first-time buyers – especially parents – who have little or no knowledge about band instruments,” Paula said when asked about the new site’s mission. “We’ve provided simple but extremely important information that is sometimes overlooked in the instrument buying process. Our goal is to inform and build buyer confidence before going shopping.”
