I see that a lot of schools have dusty bassoons rotting in the back and you just happened to get to play it. Even if you own a cool one, what kind of Bassoon do you have?
i had a fox renard model 51 (student) and today i bought sum asian thing that has nice tone and comes under the name *Gerada* , its red... but i still prefer the daggy model 51 atm
I have a bundy selmer, with schreiber bocal. I repadded and recorked the bassoon myself, and it's playing nice with my new "holy grial" reeds !! but in two months my own bassoon will arrive, it's a miraphone, most probably made by schreiber. (it's not a kreul, nor a puchner, so schreiber it's the only option) :-)
I have a Fox 222. The school just bought it last year after we got money from the school system for a bunch of new instruments. We got six new French horns, two new bassoons, A new Buffet bass clarinet, three mirafone tubas, a new baritone, et cetra
