I was looking for someplace new to go to lunch and a saw a sign that said Buffet Crampon so naturally I thought food but I was wrong. Cool store.

Showroom - New York City - Buffet Crampon

 

They are really quality instruments. I took my basic Clarinet Methods class with a Yamaha, and was happy. . . then I played my friends Buffet, and was just floored. The only analogy I can make is that difference between the econo-box model of a car and the GT/-R version of the car: similar DNA, but the little things are so different it makes a net BIG difference.
