Key Features and Specifications

Feature	Detail	Significance
Model	BC4012-2-0	This is an older, discontinued model. Its modern counterpart is typically the Buffet Prodige (BC4062), which is an updated student model.
Body Material	Grenadilla Wood	A dense, dark wood (African Blackwood) traditionally used for professional woodwind instruments. It produces a rich, warm, and professional-quality tone superior to plastic models.
Keywork	Silver Plated	Provides a more durable and aesthetically pleasing finish than nickel-plated keys, though the core material underneath is typically nickel silver.
Key System	Likely Full Conservatory or a slightly Simplified Conservatory system.	Oboes in this series are often full-featured but may lack some of the trill keys or low-note mechanisms of a professional oboe to ease the learning process. The "Key of C" simply denotes the standard pitch of the instrument.
Bore	May have a resin-lined bore (like the modern Prodige model).	A resin lining in the upper joint is a modern feature to protect the fragile grenadilla wood from cracking due to moisture and temperature changes, which is a major concern with wood oboes.

Overall Assessment

The Buffet BC4012-2-0 is a good choice for a player who:

Is ready for the tone quality of wood: The grenadilla wood offers a significant upgrade in sound quality and resonance compared to plastic models.
Needs durable keywork: Buffet Crampon is known for its reliable key mechanism and precise intonation, which is crucial for an instrument as complex as the oboe.
Is comfortable with maintenance: As a wooden instrument, it requires careful maintenance, including regular oiling and attention to humidity, to prevent cracking a common challenge for oboe players.

Given that it is a discontinued model, you will most likely find this instrument on the used market, often at a very good value for the features it provides.
