Description
The Fox Renard model 51 is built with the full German key system, but unlike the model 41, the 51 has the entire system configured for those with small hands. It’s built from molded polypropylene and hand finished by Fox craftsmen in Indiana. This is a wonderful bassoon for beginning or middle school students, folks with small hands, and budget conscious schools and institutions.

Temporary Pause on Instrument Trials and Sales
November 2025 – Mid-January 2026
We are temporarily unable to send instruments for trial or purchase while we move our entire shop from New Hampshire to Kingston, New York, just north of New York City. We apologize for the delay in service during this transition.
If you’d like to be notified when trials and sales resume, please email us with your name, contact information, and the instrument you’re interested in. We’ll reach out as soon as we’re ready to resume shipments.
Thank you for your understanding and patience during this exciting move.
