Bassoon:
Two 19th century bassoons for sale
Price: $2000 USD
Anonymous German Bassoon, ca. 1890-1900
17-key Heckel-System instrument. Very nicely made bassoon. The maker is a mystery.
No bocal included, but works well with a 0 or 1 length modern bocal. I have also tested with pre-war bocals and they work very well.
Suitable for performance of late Romantic repertoire. Pitch A-438-440. Lovely warm sound, and using harmonic fingerings plays up to high F!
$2000 or best offer
Due to the ivory bell ring, I can only ship to US buyers. My apologies.
Frédéric Triebert bassoon, ca. 1860-1870
Purchased from the Richard Abel collection. Repadded using period-style “ball” pads. Rosewood wing joint, other joints maple.
Bocal key unfortunately broke off in shipping. Will need to be reattached by a competent tech, but that should not be a difficult repair.
With a bocal, apparently original, though unmarked. Pitch A-435.
$2000 or best offer
Happy to provide additional information/pictures, and answer any questions.
