We currently have a 2006 Moosmann 222 bassoon for sale, which I decided to take to orchestra to get an idea of how it sounds and feels to play. This is the top of the range professional Moosmann bassoon, so I had high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and character of the sound it produces. This resonance of sound was quite obvious when playing at a fortissimo dynamic, as you would expect with a modern professional bassoon which has been designed to hold its own in the large modern symphony orchestra, but I was most impressed by the instrument's ability to retain this resonance at the pianissimo dynamic. The refined nature of this bassoon means there's no need to have sleepless nights worrying about that isolated quiet note in the next day's concert! This is an adaptable bassoon which can be relied on by even the most demanding professional.
Here is a picture of our Moosmann 222 bassoon:
To conclude, I have found this to be a refined bassoon that's a testament to the fine craftsmanship of Bernd Moosmann and his team. If you would like to see something of the inside of the Moosmann factory in Waiblingen, Germany, then please follow the link to this photographic tour on Youtube:
