Ģ005: Logo of the new company Buffet Group Wind Instruments S.A.S. During the 1930s BC began outsourcing Evette & Schaeffer instruments to other manufacturers. In 1918 BC began marketing their premium line instruments under their own name, while marketing lower grade instruments variously under the Evette & Schaeffer and Evette brands. In 1910 BC introduced the Apogee premium model saxophone, which had innovative keywork features that were later adapted by other manufacturers. In 1908 BC began exporting instruments to the US. In 1887 BC obtained a patent for a mechanism to control an extra key on an extended saxophone bell, extending the lower range from B to B ♭. In 1877 BC acquired the Evette & Schaeffer Company and began to use that name as their instrument brand. The company continued to expand its range and quality in instrument production, beginning saxophone production in 1866, and winning numerous awards. In 1850, BC established its headquarters at Mantes-la-Ville. (Another family member, Auguste Buffet jeune, who worked with famous clarinetist Hyacinthe Klosé to develop the Boehm system for clarinet, had his own business separate from BC.)
