Metal Bassoon

by Kris on August 23, 2017August 23, 2017

In the Paris Musical Instrument Museum there are a few display cases of bassoons, and one of them contains a bassoon made metal. This bassoon was made by Arsène Zoë Lecomte at the end of the 19th century. It was made based on the Buffet “French” bassoon fingering system/bore.

French Bassoon for Sale

I’m selling my French Bassoon. I haven’t been playing it much recently and I would rather someone use it than have it sit in my closet. If anyone is interested, it’s up on eBay.

French Bassoon For Sale

by Kris on June 5, 2015June 5, 2015

I am selling my French Bassoon! I have had this bassoon for a few years now and have had so many adventures with it. But in the last year I haven’t really played on it and I have decided to find it a new home. This bassoon has been dated to 1940 but unfortunately bears no makers mark or serial number. The bell shape looks like the Selmer French Bassoons at that time. I am including the bocal that it came with and the music lyre base that was attached to the bell (although I took it off)

You can find the listing for this bassoon on eBay:
