Today, in 2025 as Buffet Crampon celebrates its 200th anniversary, the B12 legend returns. Living up to its strong heritage, this highly affordable instrument retains the hallmark features that defined its predecessors.
Its ABS body makes it both lightweight and durable, providing excellent handling for younger players. Unlike grenadilla wood, ABS is highly resistant to changes in humidity, making it ideal for use in all-weather.
The nickel-plated, nickel silver keywork offers a strong, hard-wearing mechanism, and Valentino synthetic pads are perfectly suited to frequent use and passionate beginners. A stackable hard-plastic case will protect your B12.
