 In March 2025 it was full overhauled, ensuring it performs at its best. This model includes the high E key. I am selling it together with 2 Moosmann bocals, original balance hanger and 2 hand rests. I have played this instrument during my Bachelor and Master studies. It blends very well with other instruments and works perfectly in orchestra. I have been using it during my academy in a german orchestra, as well as in many other professional orchestras. A truly special instrument with a warm, sweet and very personal sound that has always inspired me. I’m selling it after I found a very nice Heckel bassoon. I hope that the next person who plays it can bring out all its wonderful qualities.
