Description
Condition: Excellent
Suitable for: Everyone
This pro-level short-bore bassoon was made in 1983. It plays with ease and has very good intonation and a beautiful upper register.
Brian Charles just cleaned, oiled, adjusted, and play-tested this bassoon here in our shop and it’s ready to play in every way. This is a pro-level instrument at a reasonable price and would work well for advanced students, doublers, adult enthusiasts, and pro players.
The red maple wood body is in very good condition with no boot rot and no tone hole issues. The original finish from Fox is in better than average condition with minimum wear limited to the usual spots.
The German system silver-plated keywork system has just been cleaned and oiled. It has some tarnish in places, but little wear. Very good condition pads throughout.
This bassoon features metal tone hole inserts, a lined wing joint, a lined small bore on the boot, and a plastic bell ring (which has a split in it as shown in the photos). It has high D and high E, 4 rollers, and a left-hand whisper key lock.
The Fox CVX #2 and Fox CVX #3 bocals are in excellent condition. The original Fox pro hard shell case is in solid, sturdy condition with signs of age.
