Description
This powerhouse of a bassoon is designed to project a large, dark tone. It more than meets the needs of soloists and professional orchestral players. This is the first Fox bassoon to be made with thicker walls and larger tone holes. It has slightly more length in the bass and wing joints which produces an even greater depth of tone and more powerful low register. This is the red maple body version of this instrument.
